You need to download TASID load module and TASID panels.
These contain:
   
   TASID.XMI   - An XMIT format dump of the load module
   TASIDP.XMI  - An XMIT format dump of the panels library


Installation instructions
-------------------------

1) Copy TASID.XMI  to your MVS system as 'prefix.TASID.XMIT'.
   Copy TASIDP.XMI to your MVS system as 'prefix.TASIDP.XMIT'.

   - Whatever file transfer method you use (such as FTP or
     PCOMM SEND), the files must be transferred in binary mode.

   - 'prefix.TASID.XMIT' and 'prefix.TASIDP.XMIT' *must* be
     fixed 80 data sets.

   - If you use FTP, preallocate the temporary data sets
     'prefix.TASID.XMIT' and 'prefix.TASIDP.XMIT'.
     1 cylinder of disk space should be sufficient.

2) On MVS, type the following TSO commands to create
   'prefix.TASID.LOAD' and 'prefix.TASID.PANELS':

      RECEIVE INDA('prefix.TASID.XMIT')
      

   You will see a prompt: Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +
   Press ENTER after this prompt to create 'prefix.TASID.LOAD'

	RECEIVE INDA('prefix.TASIDP.XMIT')

   You will see a prompt: Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +
   Press ENTER after this prompt to create 'prefix.TASID.PANELS'


3) To invoke the program:

   a) Concatenate 'prefix.TASID.PANELS' to ddname ISPPLIB.
   b) Either concatenate 'prefix.TASID.LOAD' to ddname ISPLLIB or
      STEPLIB, or place it in LINKLIST or LPA.
   c) Enter ISPF and type TSO TASID

   Alternatively, you can create a CLIST containing the following
   statements and invoke it from within ISPF:

      ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPPLIB DATASET ID('prefix.TASID.PANELS') STACK
      ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPLLIB DATASET ID('prefix.TASID.LOAD')   STACK
      ISPEXEC SELECT PGM(TASID)
      ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPPLIB
      ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPLLIB
