Overview of the Generation Feature

The z/VSE base tape contains source code, which provides generation capability for the supervisor.

Installation of this code (called the Generation Feature) is optional. You only need this in case you want a listing of the supervisor, or if you have modified generation macros, for example, for vendor code.

Note: You cannot change any parameter.
Therefore it is recommended to install the z/VSE Generation Feature only if needed.

The approximate space allocations required for the PRD2.GEN1 sublibrary are shown in Table 1. The disk devices listed are those that can be used for initial installation of z/VSE.
