DSNTIJUZ - installing dsnzparm

DSNTIJUZ

DSNTIJUZ is the IBM supplied jcl used to update / install DSNZPARM.DSNTIJUZ usually resides in SDSNSAMP.We use Clist/rexx while installing (SDSNCLIST) .
Always recommended to use same DSNTIJUZ each time to avoid change in values or discrepancies.
Zparms resides on system libraries, so we need external tools or ibm supplied clist/rexx (DSNZWP) to view existing system parameters in system.
DB2 uses zparm as complied load modules.
