Error in z/VSE 4.1 when trying to load DLA on disk
When using an old $0JCL from a previous release with // EXEC PROC=STDLABEL before // VDISK for DLA has been defined, the system should issue message 1L41D but instead the following error messages may be issued:
1S40I SYSTEM ERROR, LABEL
RET.CODE=0E REASON CODE=06
1S40D SYSTEM ERROR, LABEL
RET.CODE=0E REASON CODE=04
Circumvention: remove the // EXEC PROC=STDLABEL as described in chapter 5 of z/VSE V4R1.0 System Upgrade and Service.
CATALOG $0JCL.PROC DATA= YES
REPLACE=YESSTDOPTACANCEL=NO,DECK=NO,DUMP=PART,...

With z/VSE 3.1.1, initial installation may fail, first IPL goes into a loop:
A few users experienced problems with the initial installation of z/VSE V3.1.1. For technical details and a local fix see here (PDF, 8KB). As a result, we developed a solution (APAR DY46515). We applied the APAR and replaced the z/VSE V3.1.1 tapes at the distribution centers as of February 8 .
z/VSE V3 customers fall into three groups:
- If you ordered z/VSE V3.1.1 before February 8, and successfully installed the system, the fix does not apply to you.
- When you order z/VSE V3.1.1 anytime after February 8, you'll get an updated system with the fix applied.
- If you ordered z/VSE V3.1.1 before February 8, but have not yet installed it, we suggest you reorder the system.
In summary, the z/VSE V3.1,1 system you order now includes an important fix. We recommend that all customers with z/VSE V3.1.1 'on the shelf' (but who have not yet installed it for whatever reason), reorder z/VSE V3.1.1 before trying to install the system.
