This section contains information regarding z/OS system installation procedures. Perform the procedures in this section if
               you are installing

            Important: Before installing 
               		Data Express, create an empty directory on your local machine, and extract the files contained in 
               		zOS.zip, located on your installation media, into that directory. For the installation procedure, we refer to this newly created
               directory as your 
               		installation directory.
