Known Problems in the September and October 2001 Collections

z/OS V1R2 collections do not include the book z/OS V1R2.0 Planning for Installation

The book z/OS V1R2.0 Planning for Installation is not included on the October 2001 z/OS V1R2.0 Collection (SK3T-4269-02) or on the October 2001 z/OS V1R2.0 and Software Products DVD Collection (SK3T-4271-02). The book z/OS V1R1.0 Planning for Installation (GA22-7504-01, filename E0Z2B101) is included instead.
The missing book, z/OS V1R2.0 Planning for Installation (GA22-7504-02, filename E0Z2B110), is available on the z/OS Internet library and on the IBM Publications Center. It will be available on the December 2001 refreshes of the z/OS V1R2.0 Collection (SK3T-4269-03) and of the z/OS V1R2.0 and Software Products DVD Collection (SK3T-4271-03).

A book file on the Messages and Codes Collection is missing 10 chapters

On the October 2001 edition of the Messages and Codes Collection (SK2T-2068-32), the BOOK file for z/OS V1R1.0 DFSMSdfp Diagnosis Reference (GY27-7618-00, DGT2R100) in the EZ2MZ102 bookshelf is missing the last 10 chapters. There is a corrected file (GY27-7618-01, DGT2R101) in the bookshelf EZ2MZ200. You can view and download the corrected book on the z/OS Internet library site.

Problems opening PDF files

You might experience difficulties viewing PDF files depending on the level of your Adobe Acrobat Reader and your Windows platform. In some cases the file does not display, while in others you get a message that the file is being repaired and then it displays. If you have problems, try using a different level of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can install an Adobe Acrobat Reader from the collection, or you can download them from the Adobe Web site.
If you are having trouble viewing a PDF file on a CD or the Internet, try downloading the file and viewing it from your hard drive.

Cross-book linking for older books

Cross-book links might not work from old, unchanged books to more recent books. Many bookshelves contain a mix of recent softcopy books and some older softcopy books. Most old softcopy books containing cross-book links are not updated to point to more recent editions of the books they link to. As a result, the links work only for the specific back-level editions that the links point to. When you open one of these old softcopy books from a bookshelf that does not contain the back-level editions the links point to, the links to these back-level books fail.
