Resolution

EZTPOPT is the option file used for release 6.4 and 11.5 compatibility mode and 11.6 compatibility mode.
 
EZOPTBL is the option file for true release 11.5 and 11.6.
 
The main purpose of the EZTINI is to contain the desired DSN name of your EZOPTBL option file and eliminate the need for an //EZOPTBL DD statement within the JCL.
 
To create multiple option files:
1. Run JOB06OP1 from the CBAAJCL library to create each of the option files and link the name of the EZOPTBL into the appropriate EZTINI member of the corresponding CBAALOAD libraries.
 
2. Copy the EZTPOPT module from either release 6.4 or from release 11.5 CAILIB to your EZTPOPT module in your release 11.6 CBAALOAD.  
 
3. Run JOB06OP2 to list the default values via READFILE and then to edit the values via JOB06OP2.  These can be compared to release 11.5 by running JOB06EOP job under release 11.5 CAIJCL with READFILE.
 
4. Run JOB06OP2 from release 11.6 using READFILE to get the default options delivered so that you can then decide what options need to be changed via the same JOB06OP2 job.
 
5. Run JOB06OP2 to change any options for any of the multiple option files for release 11.6.
 
6. Run JOB08DEM job from the CBAAJCL library as a test.
