This page gives installation instructions for
the source code of our ISeries
utilities library. The source code is
contained in a single library PSPUSRC.
You may receive the PSPUSRC library in the following ways:
- Direct download of PSPUSRC.zip - around 2.0MB - from
a secure area of our Web site.
- A single email attachment PSPUSRC.zip - around
2.0MB.
- If a single email attachment of 2.0MB can not get
through your firewall, a series of separate email
attachments PSPUSRC.zip.001,
PSPUSRC.zip.002......PSPUSRC.zip.006 each of which is
around 400K in size. You concatenate these as
described below to build a single PSPUSRC.zip file.
To install the software:
- If you received separate email attachments
(PSPUSRC.zip.001 through PSPUSRC.zip.006), detach
these to your PC then open a Windows command prompt
and enter the following command (all on one line):
copy /B pspusrc.zip.001 + pspusrc.zip.002 +
pspusrc.zip.003 + pspusrc.zip.004 + pspusrc.zip.005
+ pspusrc.zip.006 pspusrc.zip
You should see a message like:
PSPUSRC.zip.001 PSPUSRC.zip.002 PSPUSRC.zip.003
PSPUSRC.zip.004 PSPUSRC.zip.005 PSPUSRC.zip.006 1
file(s) copied.
- Double-click on PSPUSRC.zip to open the file using
WinZip or similar ZIP software. You will see that
PSPUSRC.ZIP contains one file PSPUSRC.SAVF. Extract
this file PSPUSRC.SAVF to your PC drive.
- Transfer the SAVF up to your ISeries to end up with
a SAVF called PSPUSRC (probably in QGPL library). If
you use FTP to do this transfer, you need to
pre-create an empty SAVF on the ISeries first then FTP
into that. The FTP transfer also needs to be 'binary',
not 'ascii'. If you do not want to use FTP, then you
can transfer in a different way if your ISeries is
mapped as a Windows network drive (please contact us
if you need further help with this method).
- On your ISeries, rename any current PSPUSRC library
you may have e.g. to PSPUSRC2. This is so you can go
back to your previous version of the utilities source
if you want to.
- On your ISeries, run RSTLIB SAVLIB(PSPUSRC)
DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/PSPUSRC)
- Look at the source members in the PSPUSRC file in
the PSPUSRC library. Start with the readme member (1st
member in the source file). You should easily find
instructions to rebuild all/some of the objects in the
PSPUTIL library. Note that we do not support prior
versions of PSPUTIL. In other words the source is for
the most recent version of PSPUTIL only. You might
want to back up your current version of PSPUTIL first
in case you decide to revert to that older unsupported
version of PSPUTIL.
The SAVF contains SAVLIB LIB(PSPUSRC) with target OS/400
release of V5R2M0, so RSTLIB on that or any later release
should work. If you encounter any problems using the
PSPUSRC library objects, you can check the following sizes
for the current version of PSPUSRC:
- The SAVF on our source ISeries running V5R3 is
9,457,664 bytes.
- The SAVF as transferred to our source PC via binary
FTP is 9,537,792 bytes.
- The PSPUSRC.zip file is 2,081,983 bytes.
