Question 2

 

Does going to OS/390 mean that I need to place Language Environment in LNKLST?

Answer

Many elements and features of OS/390 require the Language Environment run-time library, SCEERUN, to be part of the program search order. The best way to do that is by adding the SCEERUN data set in LNKLST. However, adding the SCEERUN data set to LNKLST may adversely affect other applications that have dependencies on pre-Language Environment run-time libraries. As an alternative you can use STEPLIB to point individual OS/390 elements to the Language Environment run-time library, SCEERUN. The STEPLIB approach is an environment supported by IBM.

Refer to APAR II10425, OS/390 Elements that Require Language Environment, for a complete list of OS/390 elements and features that require Language Environment.
