3. The JCL also references the format cards produced by the FACE table
generator (fmta.mac, fmtb.mac, and so on). You will need to change the
referenced HFS to the text mount HFS name where the format cards reside or
you will need to move the format cards to a PDS and then reference that PDS.
4. Submit the JCL for each of the online modules to be formatted.
Create the general file loader input file
Create a general file loader input file by entering bldtpf -ald controlfile, where
controlfile is the path to tpf.cntl. See z/TPF and z/TPFDF System Generation for
more information about creating a general file loader input file. See “ALDR input
file” on page 158 for an example of a general file loader input file.
Load system components to the loader general file
Load fixed-file records
74 z/TPF Program Management
Run the TPFLDR offline program with the ALDR parameter specified to load system
components to the general file. You must load the following z/TPF components to
the loader general file by using TPFLDR:
v Core image restart (CIMR) area components.
v CTKX.
v IPLA.
v IPLB.
v Program attribute table (PAT).
v Real-time components that are required in the loader general file and specified in
the control file. See “Control files” on page 103 for more information about control
files
v Keypoints.
Note: You must load all keypoints to the loader general file, but not necessarily
to the online keypoint area. To avoid loading any particular keypoints to
the online keypoint area, specify the keypoints on the @GFKEYPOINT
control statement and do not specify them on the @KEYPOINT control
statement.
Sample JCL is provided in the base/samples/jcl directory.
Complete the following steps to load fixed-file records:
1. Create a pilot tape (symbolic name = SDF) with the system test compiler (STC)
program. See z/TPF Program Development Support Reference for information
about the system test compiler program.
Note: A maximum of 2 147 483 647 records can be read or written from a pilot
tape.
2. Mount the pilot tape (SDF). This is the only input to the data loader.
3. Enter the ZSLDR command to activate the data loader. See z/TPF Operations
for more information about the ZSLDR command.
Note: Once records are loaded to the z/TPF database, no utility is available to
remove the records from the database. If it is necessary to delete
previously loaded records from the z/TPF database, you must create and
load a new pilot tape that contains dummy records. If the number of
