When installing ACF2 and running JCL member SAMPJCL(ACF4RECD), this article describes how to find and download the HOLDDATA for the SMPHOLD DD.
Sites can download the external HOLDDATA from https://ftp.broadcom.com to a DASD file and allocate the file to the SMPHOLD DD statement. To take care of the external HOLDDATA, receive it into the SMP/E environment. SMP/E receives the HOLDDATA from Broadcom supplied jobs.
The following sample job can be run to download the hold data directly to a z/OS dataset:
//jobcard
//* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
//FTPSTEP EXEC PGM=FTP,REGION=0M,PARM='(EXIT=08'
//* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT DD *
