Step 4: Allocate and initialize the SMP/E data sets (optional)

You can install HLASM R6 in the same SMP/E zone as z/OS® V1.6.0 (or later), or in a different zone.

If you install into existing SMP/E data sets, make sure that you have enough space.

If you plan to install into an existing zone, the cluster should have already been allocated and primed. You can go on to the next step to perform an SMP/E RECEIVE.

To install into a new zone, use the ASMWSMPE sample job to allocate and prime the SMPCSI. Consult the instructions in the sample job for more information.

Expected Return Codes and Messages: This job should issue a return code of zero and no error messages.
