IOF spin level 2013316
provides support for IOF to run under z/OS V2R1. The new 8E MPI file is
supported on all versions of z/OS currently supported by IBM, and should
run with older z/OS versions. The new spin level is currently
available to be downloaded. Any subsequent 8E spin levels
will also support V2R1.
Several JES2 and z/OS control blocks were modified by
IBM version 2.1 code. IOF automatically adapts to the version of z/OS for
which it was generated and adjusts itself to run with that version.
Most of the changes to the new MPI will not be noticed externally by
users.
Eight Character Job Class
IOF now supports the new JES2 8-character JOB class when
running under z/OS 2.1. The CLASS field was enlarged on the IOF Job List
Menu for input jobs, Job Class Display, the System Monitor and the
Initiator Display. The Job class fields on Job Receivers and
Transmitters for both Offload and NJE devices were also enlarged. These
changes will be seen by observant users.
IOF/JAMS Archival System
The new MPI also includes the IOF/JAMS archival system.
IOF/JAMS is documented in the
February 2013 Newsletter.
All current IOF/JAMS maintenance is
pre-applied to the new MPI.
IOF 8E Features
The new MPI represents an ugraded level of IOF release 8E. All the features described in the
8E
announcement newsletter are available in the new MPI. This
includes:
- Email interface for z/OS
