Step 1

Download The ASLCOPY Program's XMI file

The ASLCOPY facility is distributed as a binary XMI file.

Download the XMI file from here.

Step 2

Upload The ASLCOPY Facility to the Target z/OS System

File transfer the XMI file downloaded in Step 3 up to the target z/OS system as a binary file. The XMI file must be transferred as a binary file otherwise the file will be corrupt.

Step 1

RECEIVE the Transferred File

Issue the TSO RECEIVE command for the file that was transferred to the target system.

RECEIVE your.uploaded.file.XMI

Step 4

Run the UNPACK member of the Received Dataset

The UNPACK member of the received dataset will extract the two datasets that comprise the ASLCOPY facility.

Follow the prompts issued by the UNPACK member and all the required datasets and a PDF dataset will be allocated and populated with of the required components.

To execute the UNPACK member either put an EX next to the member i.e.

Executing the UNPACK member This is an ISPF screen capture

Alternatively issue the execute as you would any other REXX exec. i.e.

TSO EX 'your.received.dataset(UNPACK)'

Step 5

Read the $$INSTAL Member to Complete the Installation

The $$INSTAL member of the received dataset contains instructions of how to complete the installation of the ASLCOPY facility.

The implementation will differ depending on the site standards but essentially you need to make the libraries available to the users.

Step 6

(Optionally) Download the PDF

To download the PDF file transfer it to a Windows based operating system as a binary file with a .PDF extension.

Once it is on the Windows system it should be able to be read as a PDF.

Alternatively you can download the PDF directly from here.
