Set Installation Parameters

Select the Edit Product Installation Parameters option to display the Product Installation Parameters panel, where you can choose the name of the installation PDS and the parameter data set (that contains all of this information).
Important:
- The name of the library containing all the jobs to be submitted is created by putting together the Submitted Job Library Prefix (if it exists, this is an optional field), the user ID and the Submitted Job Library Suffix, all separated by a period (.).
- The Parameter Data Set is a sequential file containing the environment parameters. The prefix of the name of this file must be different from the product library prefix. This file is also referred to as the KBPARM file. Be sure the file qualifier is one that you have authority to allocate.
- At the end of the edit session, the Product Installation Menu panel displays again. Press F3 to exit the menu without submitting the jobs.
On the Product Installation Menu panel, select option Edit CD Installation Parameters to display the CD Installation Parameter panel so that you can choose the sequential files (SEQ) prefix for file transfer. You must customize the Unit and Volume name, although the latter can be left blank for SMS managed DASD. The parameter Override PDS Prefix existence (N) prevents data set allocation if a data set exists with the same prefix. If you need to use an existing prefix, specify Y.
