IMPORTANT NOTE(S):                                                              
                                                                                
1.  You must have SAS 9.0 TS M0 installed on your system before           
    applying this update.                                                      
                                                                                


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 update.                                              
                                                                                
                                                                                
STEP 1: PRE-ALLOCATE THE XMIT FILE ON MVS                                       
                                                                                
  Pre-allocate a file on MVS with the following DCB.  Be sure to                
  check the space requirement on the download page:                             
     Organization  : PS                                                         
     Record format : FB                                                         
     Record length : 80                                                         
     Block size    : 3120                                                       
                                                                                
                                                                                
STEP 2: FTP THE XMIT FILE TO MVS                                                
                                                                                
  FTP the XMIT file into this newly created file.  This can be                  
  done in one of 2 ways:                                                        
                                                                                
    Method 1) Download the update to your PC.  The packaged            
              update is a is a self extracting executable.                      
              Launching the executable will extract the                         
              OS/390 files to a default location                                
                                                                                
                   example: C:\os390\tkhexupd                                   
                                                                                
              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                                                          
                                                                                
              After extracting the file, FTP the tkhexupd.xmit file to          
              your MVS system doing a BINARY upload into the                    
              preallocated file created in step 1.                              
                                                                                
    Method 2) From MVS, FTP to ftp.sas.com using userid=anonymous and           
              password=your.email@address                                       
                                                                                
              Once you're logged on, cd into the following directory:           
              /techsup/download/hotfix/v90_updates/tkhexupd/mvs                      
                                                                                
              Issue the following commands where 'sas.tkhexupd.xmit' is           
              the filename you created in step 1.                               
                                                                                
              binary                                                            
              get tkhexupd.xmit 'sas.tkhexupd.xmit' (rep                          
                                                                                
                                                                                
STEP 3: RECEIVE THE XMIT FILE TO CREATE THE CNTL PDS                            
                                                                                
  On MVS do a RECEIVE command on the uploaded XMIT file as follows              
  where 'sas.tkhexupd.xmit' is the preallocated file in step 1.                   
                                                                                
    receive indataset('sas.tkhexupd.xmit')                                        
                                                                                
  After doing this you will be prompted with something similar to               
  the following:                                                                
                                                                                
     INMR901I Dataset DATA.SET.NAME from USERID on ????????                     
     INMR906A Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +                   
                                                                                
  at this prompt you should enter:                                               
                                                                                
     DA('sas.tkhexupd.cntl')                                                      
                                                                                
  ... where sas.tkhexupd.cntl will be a new PDS that contains all of              
  the parts necessary to apply this update.                                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
STEP 4: EXECUTE THE REXX EXEC                                                   
                                                                                
  In your new CNTL data set is a REXX exec that will create any new 
  load libraries needed for this update.  Execute this REXX exec 
  from ISPF prompt:                                                   
                                                                                
    ex 'sas.tkhexupd.cntl(rexx)'                                                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
STEP 5: MERGE GENERATED LIBRARIES WITH SAS                                      
                                                                                
  The REXX exec will create '&prefix.HFA9BA03.LIBRARY'.  You will 
  need to replace the like-named module(s) in your current 
  SAS 9.0 (TS M0) installation library with the module(s) loaded to 
  '&prefix.HFA9BA03.LIBRARY'.  We suggest you rename the module(s) 
  in the current SAS 9.0 (TS M0) installation library before replacing.                         
                                                                                
                                                                                                                           

This completes the installation of the Threaded HEXw. Format Update on OS/390.
