ASLWAIT is a program that will wait for an ECB to be posted that will never be posted! In other words the program will never end unless it is cancelled or stopped by operator command.

ASLWAIT has an alias of IEFWAIT

ASLWAIT comes with a non-executable assembler program named ASLDCBS which simply defines the DCBs that many Abbydale Systems programs. Detail on ASLDCBS can be found here.

Assmembly and Link Edit details of the program, ASLWAIT can be found here.

If you choose to install ASLWAIT then you need to follow the steps below.

A document detailing how to use the ASLWAIT program can be found here or in the PDS that is received.
 
 
  Step 1

Download The ASLWAIT Program's XMI file

The ASLWAIT facility is distributed as a binary XMI file.

Download the XMI file from here.
 
 
 
  Step 2

Upload The ASLWAIT 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 ASLWAIT 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.

 _________ SOURCE            
 EX        UNPACK            
           **End**  

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 ASLWAIT program.

The implementation will differ depending on the site standards but essentially you need to make the load library 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.
