Assembling source

A SYSMOD may supply both the source (++SRC/++SRCUPD) and an object deck (++MOD) for an element. SMP/E determines whether the object deck can simply be link-edited into the distribution library or whether the source must be assembled. This determination is made by considering the following questions:

Was ASSEM specified on the ACCEPT command?
Are there any updates to the source that the SYSMOD supplying the object does not know about (UMIDs in the distribution zone SRC entry)?
Has another SYSMOD assembled the module without this SYSMOD knowing about it (RMID of the distribution zone MOD entry for the module to be assembled)?
Is the ASSEMBLE indicator set for the corresponding MOD?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, the module is assembled if SMP/E can determine where the resultant assembled object module should go.

SMP/E knows where to put the assembled object module if there is a distribution zone MOD entry and a resultant object module. That is, the DISTLIB is not SYSPUNCH. (For more information on how SMP/E processes the object module after assembly, see Module replacements.)
