Issue/Introduction

In the current release of OPS/MVS release, I am trying to run an assembly and link of OBJ2CB from CCLXASM .  The source is no longer provided at the current release.

Is there a replacement or comparable?

Environment

OPS/MVS, All releases following release 12.3

Resolution

OPJ2CBxx is no longer required as of release 13.0.   We now distribute OPJ2DF already assembled in our load library.       

Additional Information

OPJ2CB xx  Modules and the JES2OFFSETSUFFIX Parameter

Module OPJ2DF for all supported releases of OPS/MVS now contains default JES2 offset tables for all supported releases of JES2. Updates to OPJ2DF to support any new releases of JES2 are delivered as PTFs. Therefore, Broadcom expects that users no longer build their own JES2 offset table in module OPJ2CB xx  using sample jobs JES2ASM and USERJ2CB.

By default, OPS/MVS uses the appropriate JES2 offset table from module OPJ2DF.

Starting with release 13.0:

Sample jobs JES2ASM and USERJ2CB have been removed from installed SMP/E target library  hlq .CCLXCNTL

Assembler macro OPJ2CB has been removed from installed SMP/E target library  hlq .CCLXASM

Existing OPJ2CB xx  modules that are built with previous releases of OPS/MVS will not be used and will be flagged as incompatible at startup by modified message OPS0049E

In a future release, parameter JES2OFFSETSUFFIX may be removed.
