Abstract
A method of automating HELP panel uploading in a data processing system is disclosed. A Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) environment is created by allocating a Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) cluster and installing it in a Customer Information Control System region (CICS) executing OfficeVision/Multiple Virtual Storage (OV/MVS). HELP panels assembled as Personal Computer (PC) batch files are uploaded and placed in temporary storage within OV/MVS. OV/MVS facilities are used to move the PC batch files from temporary storage and convert the files to MVS formatted files. The converted files are placed in a special save area. Shared document are created using the converted PC files from the special save area used as HELP panel header data.
