How to asm/link DLCVTPR without ISV

Products

• Datacom
• DATACOM - AD

Issue/Introduction

CICS ISV file is not part of the CICS package since CTS 4.2.

Client must ask for the file from IBM

See following  Link: 
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21170256 

Environment

z/os with Datacom/DB 15.0 or 15.1

and

DBDT 12.0 with CICS CTS above 5.1

Cause

ISV file needs to be requested from IBM and can delay DBDT upgrade

Resolution

Please follow the steps below to get around the assembly error:

1. create a small PDS library temporarily modeling it after CICSSYS.CTS530.CICS.SDFHMAC, let's call it anyname.TESTMAC or anything else according to your standards.

2. Copy the macro DFHLFM from the SDFHMAC to the just created TESTMAC.

3. Edit the DFHLFM macro in the TESTMAC library and delete the line towards the bottom of the macro that refers to DFHPROLG. It is "COPY DFHPROLG". Save the change and PF3 out.

4. Add a DD card with this new test macro library ahead of the dataset definition for SDFHMAC. Please see below how it is going to look like:
//      DD DISP=SHR,DSN=anyname.TESTMAC
//      DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICSSYS.CTS530.CICS.SDFHMAC

Save your JCL changes and submit the JCL for assembly.
