The FVP creates test data sets and exercises fundamental DFSMShsm processing. The FVP, found in member ARCFVPST, is for anyone wanting a thorough test of DFSMShsm using actual data. The FVP can be run after running the starter set but before running any of the jobs that adapt the starter set to your environment.
