Step 7: Create cross-reference facility files

Edit online

The Cross-Reference Facility requires two VSAM managed SAM files to be built at install time. The JCL for this task is in the ASMXJC2S.Z member.

This JCL will copy the contents from two librarian members (using '* $$ SLI') into two VSAM managed SAM files. The user may, at a later date, update these librarian members and then rerun this JCL. When being rerun change DISP=(NEW,KEEP) to DISP=(OLD,KEEP) on the DLBL statements.

Before running this job, you will need to make the following changes:
  1. Change LDEST parameters on the '* $$ JOB' statement, to suit the requirements of your site.
  2. Change the LIBDEF statement if you have installed HLASM Toolkit Feature into another library.
  3. Change the SLI statements if this library is not in the source LIBDEF search chain for the VSE/POWER™ partition. Do this by adding the 'S=library.sublibrary' parameter to each SLI statement.
  4. If necessary, change the IJSYSUC value on each DLBL statement to point to the required VSAM User Catalog.
