You can use Job Control Language (JCL) to install physical and symbolic description maps.

You can use


the BMS Editor to generate the JCL for a BMS map set in an existing MVS™ project on the System z™
host. For example, the output can be a COBOL copybook and binary object.

Restriction: You can generate the JCL only to an existing PDS. Create a PDS on the host, if you have
not yet done so.

To create the JCL for a map set, do the following:

1. Right-click on the .bms map set file name in the MVS project folder.
2. Select Properties.
3. In the BMS Settings dialog, specify the destination library. Set the other options as desired.
4. Right-click the .bms map set file name.
5. Select Generate JCL > For Assemble or Generate JCL > For Assemble Link.
6. In the input dialog, specify the target PDS and the member name. You can also set a different job
name.
7. Click OK to complete the generation process.

If the member name already exists, you are prompted to overwrite the member.

If the target PDS does not exist, an error message is returned.

To submit the JCL, do the following:

1. Right-click the generated JCL file name in the PDS.


2. Select Properties. Set the desired values.
3. Right-click the JCL file name and select Submit.

You can find the output in the library that you specified in the BMS Settings dialog.

You can test the map in the CICS® region with a Send Map command.
