System installation preparation

Install the National Language Support (NLS) from one of the following sources:

• The BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) site
• CD

To install NLS:

1. Prepare your system.

   For information about the space requirements, see the INCONTROL for z/OS release notes that accompany this release. The DCB information for the image file is as follows:

   RECFM=FB, LRECL=1024, BLKSIZE=27648

2. Transfer the image file to the mainframe as a binary file, by doing one of the following actions:
   • Download the National Language Support installation from the EPD site at http://www.bmc.com/available/epd.html
   • Copy the file from the product CD.
3. Uncompress the image file.

   Note: The IBM TRSMAIN (alias of AMATERSE) program is required because the image files are delivered in a compressed format that was created using TRSMAIN.

   1. Once the image file has been uploaded to your mainframe, make the necessary changes in the following UNTERSE job to uncompress the image file.

In the preceding UNTERSE job

• basepref represents your choice of prefix for the base libraries, which are described in Loading ICE.
• ppp,ss,dd represents the space requirements for the basepref.NLSSUPP file, as specified in the INCONTROL for z/OS release notes that accompany this release.

1. Submit the UNTERSE job.
2. Verify that the job completes with a return code of 0.
