Step 1. Allocate the BINLIB and RUNLIB Libraries

On the z/OS system, you must allocate the BINLIB and RUNLIB libraries that will receive the files from the z/OS Installation Assistant.

Use the predefined library names of BINLIB and RUNLIB with a high-level qualifier of your choice, for example, PWX.SYSTEMA.PROD.RUNLIB. When you run the installation jobs on the z/OS system, the jobs will allocate members in these libraries.

Allocate the BINLIB and RUNLIB libraries in one of the following ways:

Use the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) Option 3.2.

Use JCL such as the following sample JCL for allocating the RUNLIB library:

//ALLOC     EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DS1  DD DSNAME=&HLQ..RUNLIB,
//          DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,(20,10,50),RLSE),
//          DCB=(BLKSIZE=nn,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,DSORG=PS),
//          VOL=SER=volume_serial_number

When allocating these libraries, record the high-level qualifiers (HLQ) that you use. You must enter this value as the HLQ value for the

User Modifiable Data Sets (Non-VSAM)

group on the

Data Set Group Details

page in the z/OS Installation Assistant.

The following table describes the parameters to use for allocating the BINLIB and RUNLIB libraries on a 3390 direct access storage device (DASD):

Library	Description	Space Units (3390)	Space Quantity (pri,sec)	Directory Blocks	DCB Characteristics
BINLIB	PDS that contains the software libraries in TSO/E transmitted format.	CYL	(220,10)	10	RECFM FB LRECL 80 BLKSIZE any valid value, often a multiple of the LRECL value
RUNLIB	PDS that contains the jobs to install PowerExchange, jobs to set up and run PowerExchange, and configuration data. The AAINDEX member describes each member in RUNLIB.	CYL	(20,10)	50	RECFM FB LRECL 80 BLKSIZE any valid value, often a multiple of the LRECL value
