 2. 92/08/26 When applying a PUT tape to the specific product (5668909D,
             5668910D or 5668911D) you should ensure that you have
             already applied the PUT to the common library portion of
             the PL/I product (5688082D). The common library portion has
             an updated version of an exec (IBMINST) which is needed by
             the specific product in order to apply service. Users who
             try applying the PUT maintenance for the specific product
             prior to the Common Library may get the message...
             ******   "SERVICE" is an invalid object type.  ************

 1. 90/08/10 SC26-4307-2 OS PL/I VERSION 2 PROGRAMMING GUIDE RELEASE 3
             ON PAGE 530 THE DISCUSSION ON MODIFYING IBMBINT FOR USE IN
             A CICS ENVIRONMENT CONTAINS FOUR BULLETED ITEMS.  THE
             FOURTH ITEM SHOULD READ:
             IBMBINT SHOULD BE LINK-EDITED USING THE NCAL LINKAGE EDITOR
             OPTION IN ORDER TO AVOID INCLUDING THE PL/I LIBRARY
             ROUTINES PREMATURELY.  IF YOU DESIRE A DIFFERENT HIGH-
             LEVEL-LANGUAGE USER EXIT FOR EACH APPLICATION, MAKE
             CERTAIN THE DESIRED VERSION OF IBMBINT IS ENCOUNTERED
             FIRST IN THE LINKAGE EDITOR INPUT OR SYSLIB CONCATENATION
             WHEN THE APPLICATION IS LINK-EDITED.




General Information


 THIS SECTION CONTAINS GENERAL INFORMATION, I.E. SYSGEN HINTS/TIPS.

 3. 92/11/04 1. The PLI HELPMENU FILE is missing some PLITEST commands.
                The following commands need to be added into the list.
                 COLORS           PREVDISP         OPEN
                 DOWN             PROFILE          PEEK
                 LEFT             RESTORE          POSITION
                 LISTINGS         RETRIEVE         UP
                 MONITOR          RIGHT            VTRACE
                 MOVECURS         SEARCH           WINDOWS
             2. The HELPMENU FILE and individual help files were all
                shipped with a filemode of 2.  To fully utilize the CMS
                HELP SYSTEM, rename the individual help files with a
                filemode of 1.  This allows CMS to find all the
                individual HELP files when needed, at the same time
                saves storage for users because the individual HELP
                files will be "hidden".

 2. 91/02/07 APPLYING SERVICE TO PL/I:
             IF YOUR COMMON LIBRARY IS ON A DIFFERENT DISK THAN THE
             PL/I FOR WHICH YOU ARE APPLYING SERVICE, THEN YOU WILL
             NEED TO LINK TO AND ACCESS THE COMMON LIBRARY IN READ/WRITE
             MODE.  THIS IS TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN SEE THE IBMINST EXEC
             AND ALSO USE THE TEXT FILES SENT WITH THE COMMON LIBRARY
             THAT ARE NEEDED BY THE PL/I SPECIFIC LIBRARY.

 1. 90/10/31 SERVICE REQUISITES FOR PL/I
             (THIS INFORMATION REFERS TO INSTALLING TEMPORARY FIXES
             ONLY -- A USER APPLYING A PROGRAM UPDATE TAPE .PUT.
             DOES NOTE NEED THIS INFORMATION)

  THE FIRST TIME YOU INSTALL A VM FIX TO PL/I V2R3M0 OR ITS ASSOCIATED
  COMMON LIBRARY, YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING
  PTF(S):

  =====================================================================

         PL68754   5668-910 PL/I V2R3M0 LIBRARY & COMPILER
         PL68756   5668-911 PL/I V2R3M0 LIBRARY
 THE PTFS CREATED WILL INCLUDE SEVERAL FILES WHICH, PER THE INSTALLATION
 GUIDE INSTRUCTIONS, YOU WILL LOAD ONTO THE A-DISK.  SEVERAL OF THESE
 SHOULD HAVE A FILETYPE OF PLAN OR PLN# (WHERE # IS A 5-DIGIT NUMBER)
 WE REFER TO THIS FILETYPE AS <PLN#> IN THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM. THE VERY
 FIRST TIME (AND ONLY THE FIRST TIME) YOU APPLY A VM PTF TO PL/I AND/OR
 THE COMMON LIBRARY, YOU WILL NEED TO DO A COPY/COPIES OF SOME SPECIFIC
 FILES, AS STATED BELOW:

 ====================================================================
  PRODUCT     COPY COMMAND(S)
 ====================================================================
  5688-082    COPYFILE IBMINSTP <PLN#> A IBMINST  PROMPTS B (REPLACE
              COPYFILE IBMINST  <PLN#> A IBMINST  EXEC    B (REPLACE
              COPYFILE I5688082 <PLN#> A =        EXEC    B (REPLACE
  5668-909    COPYFILE I5668909 <PLN#> A =        EXEC    B (REPLACE
  5668-910    COPYFILE I5668910 <PLN#> A =        EXEC    B (REPLACE
