Issue/Introduction

What is the recommended replacement for the symbolic values in the following steps.

//TPXTRFMT EXEC PGM=TPXTRFMT
//STEPLIB DD DSN=&VLNAME,DISP=SHR
//XTRACE DD DSN=&XPREFIX..TRACE,DISP=SHR

Environment

Release: TPX 5.4
Component: Z/OS 2.2

Resolution

From install job INSTTPX:

//TPXTRFMT EXEC PGM=TPXTRFMT 
//STEPLIB  DD  DSN=&VLNAME,DISP=SHR 
//XTRACE   DD  DSN=&XPREFIX..TRACE,DISP=SHR                                    

In same job, find STEP01 and replace "&VLNAME" with whatever DSN is used for the DD TPXLOAD.

Review comments in INSTALL JCL member INSTTPX:

** MODIFY THE TPXTRFMT STEP SO THAT THE &XPREFIX AND &VLNAME VARIABLES MATCH THE SPECIFICATION AT THE START OF THE UNLOAD PROC. **
