MVS 3.8J PARMLIB

MVS 3.8J

SYS1.PARMLIB by Tommy Sprinkle

Over the years I have retained a hardcopy listing of the SYS1.PARMLIB from the MVS System I maintained as a systems programmer back in 1981. I have re-entered the SYS1.PARMLIB members and successfully completed an IPL. A few modifications have been made to as necessary for the environment I am running under Hercules. The errors in the comments have been retained just as they were in the original SYS1.PARMLIB (just for fun)! I never thought that I would see these in use again after April 1981.

I have provided some basis documentation for the MVS Initialization and Tuning Parameters in SYS1.PARMLIB. This documentation is based on my old OS/VS2 System Programming Library: Initialization and Tuning GC28-0681-3 (April 1978). I have attempted to summarize the basic information for each PARMLIB member.
