Suggestions for temporarily installing
Language Environment in
LNKLST/LPALST include:
- Install Language Environment in
LNKLST/LPALST on a test or development machine first.
- Use the SETPROG MVS system command to temporarily modify the LNKLST or
LPA, without having to IPL the system. For information on using the SETPROG
command, see z/OS MVS System Commands, SA22-7627.
- IPL over a weekend and install Language Environment in
LNKLST/LPALST. Verify over the weekend that your applications run under Language Environment.
Note: Although many elements of z/OS depend on the Language Environment runtime library, z/OS does not require Language Environment to
be installed in LNKLST. (However, Language Environment must
be installed in the same zone as z/OS.) If you choose not to place Language Environment in LNKLST, you
must STEPLIB Language Environment in
the individual z/OS PROCs that required Language Environment.
For information on which elements require Language Environment,
see: z/OS Program Directory for z/OS.
