As part of the pre-installation checklist for sites that use the z/OS operating environment, you might need to install the SAS 9.2 SVC routine on your system. This SAS note documents how to install the SVC routine on your system before you install SAS^® software.

To install the SAS 9.2 SVC routine, perform the following steps:

1. Download the instsvc.xmit file from the ftp.sas.com Web site.
2. Using FTP, transfer the instsvc.xmit file (in binary mode) to your z/OS system. You should preallocate the target data set with the following DCB characteristics:

   LRECL=80
   BLKSIZE=3120
   RECFM=FB  
   

3. Use the following RECEIVE command to create a PDS that will contain the JCL members that are required to install the SVC routine, where SAS92.INSTSVC.XMIT is the name of the file to which you tranferred the INSTSVC.XMIT file, using FTP.
   receive indataset(sas92.instsvc.xmit)
   Respond with the name of a data set that will contain the JCL members (that you will use to complete the installation) by issuing the following command:
   da(sas92.instsvc.cntl)
4. Create the library that will contain the load modules by issuing the following command, where SAS92.INSTSVC.CNTL is the data set that you created in the previous step:
   receive indataset(sas92.instsvc.cntl(svcmod))
5. Respond with the name of a data set that will contain the load modules by issuing the following command:
   da(sas92.instsvc.library)
6. Follow the instructions in the "Installing the SAS 9.2 SVC Routine" chapter of Configuration Guide for SAS^® 9.2 Foundation for z/OS^®, with the followng exceptions:
   • Anywhere that the documentation references the BAMISC data set, use the CNTL data set that you created in step 3.
   • Anywhere that the documentation refers to the SAS.LIBRARY data set, use the data set that you created in step 4.
