INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOT FIX F9BA08 ON Z/OS


BEFORE DOWNLOADING:

Hot fix F9BA08 addresses the issue(s) in SAS 9.2 (9.2 TS1M0)
of Base SAS software on z/OS as documented in the
"Issue(s) Addressed" section of the hot fix download page:

http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/f9_sbcs_prod_list.html#f9ba08


The following file(s) will be installed:

      * f9ba08.xmit
             CNTL PDS in XMIT format.  It contains all of the
             programs and content necessary to apply the hot fix.



IMPORTANT NOTE(S):

1.  You must have SAS 9.2 (9.2 TS1M0) installed on your system
    before applying this hot fix.

2.  Technical Support strongly suggests that you verify that you
    have current backups of all SAS files.

3.  All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and
    servers must be terminated before applying this hot fix.

4.  Before proceeding with STEP 5 of the INSTALLATION
    INSTRUCTIONS, insure no 9.2 SAS jobs are running because this
    step requires exclusive access to the SASHELP library.

5.  To fully implement the fix for

        Problem Note 32003:
        Text searches return different results in PDF files created by ODS PDF
        http://support.sas.com/kb/32/003.html

     the SAS registry requires an update per "STEP 5: UPDATE THE SAS REGISTRY" 
     below.



INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The following instructions describe the steps for extracting the
contents of the downloaded file, moving the files to your z/OS
system and installing the hot fix.


STEP 1: PRE-ALLOCATE THE XMIT FILE ON Z/OS

  Pre-allocate a file on z/OS (e.g. 'sas.hotfix.xmit') 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 Z/OS

  FTP the XMIT file into this newly created file.  This can be
  done in one of 2 ways:

    Method 1) Download the packaged hot fix to your PC.  The
              packaged hot fix is a is a self extracting
              executable.  Launching the executable will extract
              the z/OS files to a default location

                   example: C:\zos\f9ba08os

              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 f9ba08os.xmit
              file to your z/OS system doing a BINARY upload into
              the preallocated file created in step 1.

    Method 2) From z/OS, FTP to ftp.sas.com using
              userid=anonymous and password=your.email@address

              Once you are logged on, cd into the following
              directory:
              /techsup/download/hotfix/vf9/base/f9ba08/mvs

              Issue the following commands where
              'sas.hotfix.xmit' is the filename you created in
              step 1.

              binary
              get f9ba08os.xmit 'sas.hotfix.xmit' (rep
              quit


STEP 3: RECEIVE THE XMIT FILE TO CREATE THE CNTL PDS

  On z/OS issue a RECEIVE command against the uploaded XMIT file
  as follows where 'sas.hotfix.xmit' is the preallocated file in
  step 1.

    receive indataset('sas.hotfix.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.hotfix.cntl')

  ... where sas.hotfix.cntl will be a new PDS that contains all
  of the parts necessary to apply this hot fix.  This PDS will be
  referred to as the CNTL data set in subsequent instructions.


STEP 4: EXECUTE THE REXX EXEC

  In the CNTL data set is a member named REXX.  This member
  contains a REXX exec that will prompt you for information,
  then, if applicable, create any new load libraries and, if
  applicable, generate any JCL required to modify SAS data
  libraries or USS content in your SAS system.  Execute this REXX
  exec from an ISPF prompt and follow the dialogs:

      ex 'sas.hotfix.cntl(rexx)'


STEP 5: UPDATE THE SAS REGISTRY

  To fully implement this fix the SAS registry requires an
  update.  To update the SAS registry in your SASHELP library,
  edit and submit the job in 'sas.hotfix.cntl(SASXREG1).  Note
  that the userid that you submit the job from must have update
  access to the SASHELP library, and that the SASHELP library is
  allocated DISP=OLD in this job.  Before submitting this job,
  insure no 9.2 SAS jobs are running and that no SAS servers are
  not running.



STEP 6: MERGE GENERATED LIBRARIES WITH SAS

  Replace the like-named modules in your current SAS 9.2
  (9.2 TS1M0) installation library with the modules loaded to
  '&prefix.HFF9BA08.LIBRARY'.  We suggest you rename the modules
  in the current SAS 9.2 (9.2 TS1M0) installation library before
  replacing, or make a backup copy of the original modules.



This completes the installation of hot fix F9BA08 on Z/OS.
