SMP/E JCL, which you can install using JCL or CA Chorus Software Manager. z/OSMF, which you can install using z/OSMF Deployments. If more than one package is available, you can only select one.

If applicable, the Additional Downloads tab contains common services, utilities, or other files that are associated with the product that you are downloading. For example:

2. Review the primary downloads and additional downloads for the product that you specified. Use the SEARCH field to filter the results. Expand/collapse the contents as necessary.
