INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOT FIX 81ST01 ON OS/390 BEFORE DOWNLOADING: The hot fix 81ST01 addresses the PROC TTEST issue in Release 8.1 (TS1M0) of SAS/STAT software on OS/390 as documented in SAS Note(s): SN-003202 PROC TTEST incorrectly computes many weighted statistics You may review this SAS Note at: http://www.sas.com/service/techsup/unotes/SN/003/003202.html The following files will be installed: * 81st01os.xmit the replacement load module(s) containing the hot fix in XMIT format * 81st01os.rexx the REXX EXEC used to install the hot fix on your OS/390 system * 81st01os.aud a hot fix identifier file that will allow Technical Support to determine which fixes have been applied to a system * 81st01os.txt a copy of these installation instructions IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. You must have Release 8.1 (TS1M0) installed on your system before applying this hot fix. 2. This hot fix must be downloaded to a PC running a Windows system (Windows 95/98/2000/NT or higher) for file extraction. If Web download on a PC is not available at your site, but FTP to external sites is available, instructions for an alternative process are documented below. See section titled "ADDITIONAL OPTION FOR ACCESSING HOT FIX 81ST01". INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: The following instructions describe the steps for extracting the contents of the downloaded file, moving the files to your OS/390 system and installing the hot fix. STEP 1: The hot fix package downloaded is a self extracting executable named 81st01os.exe. Launching the executable will extract the OS/390 files to the default location C:\os390\81st01os You will be prompted during the extraction process to accept or overwrite the default unzip location. The remaining steps in these installation instructions assume that you have unzipped the files to the default location. If you are unable to run 81st01os.exe, contact your System Administrator for additional instructions. STEP 2: Once the contents of the .exe file has been extracted, the four files must be moved via FTP from your PC to your OS/390 system. 1. Allocate a data set on OS/390 with the following DCB characteristics. This is the location where the file 81st01os.xmit MUST be FTP'ed. In this example the data set will be called "sas.hotfix.xmit". Organization . . . . . : PS Record format . . . . . : FB Record length . . . . . : 80 Block size . . . . . . : 3120 2. Open an MS-DOS (or NT Command Prompt) window and change to the directory where the contents of 81st01os.exe were unzipped. C:\> cd \os390\81st01os 3. FTP to your OS/390 system using the appropriate userid and password. C:\os390\81st01os> ftp 4. Issue the following commands: ftp> binary ftp> put 81st01os.xmit 'sas.hotfix.xmit' (rep <== VERIFY 'sas.hotfix.xmit' DSN ftp> ascii ftp> put 81st01os.rexx 'sas.hotfix.rexx' <== VERIFY 'sas.hotfix.rexx' DSN ftp> put 81st01os.aud 'sas.hotfix.aud' <== VERIFY 'sas.hotfix.aud' DSN ftp> put 81st01os.txt 'sas.hotfix.txt' <== VERIFY 'sas.hotfix.txt' DSN ftp> quit Other methods for moving files between your PC systems and OS/390 systems that are available at your site may be used to transfer these files. However, the file 81st01os.xmit MUST be transferred using the BINARY protocol, and the .rexx, .aud, and .txt files must be transferred using ASCII protocol. STEP 3: After you have completed the FTP, you should run the REXX EXEC from either native TSO or ISPF using the following command: EXEC 'sas.hotfix.rexx' where 'sas.hotfix.rexx' is the DSN you FTP'ed to as instructed above. You should follow the prompts of the REXX EXEC, typing in responses as directed. NOTE: You should know the high level qualifer, or prefix, of your Release 8.1 (TS1M0) SAS Installation Libraries as you will be prompted for this information. NOTE: We will not modify any of your Release 8.1 (TS1M0) libraries during this process. STEP 4: After completing this install using the REXX EXEC, you will need to replace the like-named modules in your current Release 8.1 (TS1M0) installation library with the modules loaded to '&prefix.HF81ST01.LIBRARY'. We suggest you rename the modules in the current Release 8.1 (TS1M0) installation library before replacing. This completes the installation of hot fix 81ST01 on OS/390. ----- ADDITIONAL OPTION FOR ACCESSING HOT FIX 81ST01 ----- If Web download and PC access is not available at your site, but FTP to external sites is available, you may use this process to access this fix. These instructions explain accessing this fix through anonymous FTP. STEP1: Allocate a data set on OS/390 with the following DCB characteristics. This is the location where the file 81st01os.xmit MUST be FTP'ed. In this example the data set will be called "sas.hotfix.xmit". Organization . . . . . : PS Record format . . . . . : FB Record length . . . . . : 80 Block size . . . . . . : 3120 STEP 2: FTP to ftp.sas.com using: userid=anonymous and password=your.email@address STEP 3: Issue the following command: cd /techsup/download/hotfix/v81/stat/81st01/mvs STEP 4: If you are executing FTP directly from OS/390 you can issue the following commands, otherwise go to STEP 5: binary get 81st01os.xmit 'sas.hotfix.xmit' (rep ascii get 81st01os.rexx 'sas.hotfix.rexx' get 81st01os.aud 'sas.hotfix.aud' get 81st01os.txt 'sas.hotfix.txt' This will FTP the file 81st01os.xmit to "sas.hotfix.xmit" which you allocated in Step 1 above. Now skip to Step 6. STEP 5: If you are are executing FTP from another host, you can issue the following commands: binary get 81st01os.xmit "a_local_path_name" ascii get 81st01os.rexx "a_local_path_name" get 81st01os.aud "a_local_path_name" get 81st01os.txt "a_local_path_name" You will then need to take steps to FTP the file 81st01os.xmit to "sas.hotfix.xmit" which you created in STEP 1 above. The remaining three files must also be FTP'ed to your OS/390 system. STEP 6: After you've completed the FTP, you should run the REXX EXEC from either native TSO or ISPF using the following command: EXEC 'sas.hotfix.rexx' where 'sas.hotfix.rexx' is the DSN you FTP'ed to as instructed above. You should follow the prompts of the REXX EXEC, typing in responses as directed. NOTE: You should know the high level qualifer, or prefix, of your Release 8.1 (TS1M0) SAS Installation Libraries as you will be prompted for this information. NOTE: We will not modify any of your Release 8.1 TS1M0 libraries during this process. STEP 7: After completing this install using the REXX EXEC, you will need to replace the like-named modules in your current Release 8.1 TS1M0 installation library with the modules loaded to '&prefix.HF81ST01.LIBRARY'. We suggest you rename the modules in the current Release 8.1 TS1M0 installation library before replacing. This completes the installation of hot fix 81ST01 on OS/390.
