Question on running the INISYSL step in the S01LALC step

Products

• SOLVE:Operations Automation

Issue/Introduction

When we installed Solve Operations 11.9. there was a init step in S0LCALC to initialize a syslog file:

//INISYSL  EXEC  PGM=IEBGENER                                         
//SYSUT2   DD  DSN=<hlq>.OPB9.SYSL,                              
//             DISP=OLD                                               
//SYSUT1   DD  DUMMY,DCB=(DSORG=PS,BLKSIZE=15476,LRECL=137,RECFM=VBA) 
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY                                                  

 

Question:

Is this step still necessary if the file has to be reallocated?

Environment

Release : 11.9

Component : CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for z/OS

Resolution

No.

Since z/OS 1.11 there is automatically created an EOF even in non SMS files and SMS managed.
