Installation Note 34677: Installing the SAS SVC routine as part of the pre-installation checklist for SAS® 9.2 or SAS 9.3
As part of the pre-installation checklist for planning installations in the z/OS operating environment, you must install the SAS SVC routine on your system if you do not already have the SAS®9 SVC version installed. This SAS note documents how to install the SVC routine on your system before you install SAS software.
To install the SAS SVC routine, follow these steps:
- Download the instsvc.xmit file, which is available from the Downloads tab in this note.
- Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), transfer the instsvc.xmit file (in binary mode) to your z/OS environment. You should pre-allocate the target data set with the following data control block:
lrecl=80
blksize=3120
recfm=fb
- Use the following receive command to create a partitioned data set (PDS) that will contain the JCL members that are required to install the SVC routine:
receive indataset(sas9.instsvc.xmit)
In this command, sas9.instsvc.xmit is the name of the file to which you transferred the instsvc.xmit, using FTP.
Respond with the name of a data set that is to contain the JCL members (that you will use to complete the installation) by issuing the following command:
da(sas9.instsvc.cntl)
- Create the library that is to contain the load modules by issuing the following command:
receive indataset(sas9.instsvc.cntl(svcmod))
In this command, sas92.instsvc.cntl is the data set that you created in the previous step.
Respond with the name of a data set that is to contain the load modules by issuing the following command:
da(sas9.instsvc.library)
- Follow the instructions in the "Installing the SAS SVC Routine" chapter of the appropriate configuration guide for your release,
with the following 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.
