I've never coded it! So forgot about it.
We were just happy to get JCLLIB at all, JES proclibs were a pain. What was that, /*JOBPARM P=xxxx, where the concatenation could only be changed by the systems people, because it is was in the PROC00 member in the JES parms library? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of David Spiegel Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2023 2:23 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Is SMP/E needed for installs?
