Module replacements

The modules (++MODs and assemblies from ++SRCs) selected from a SYSMOD are generally link-edited to a load module library on the target system. SMP/E determines the load module to which a module belongs by checking for load module (LMOD) subentries in the target zone MOD entry for the module and by looking at the MODDEL subentries for all LMOD entries. The link-edit characteristics and control statements for the link-edit are found in the target zone LMOD entry for the appropriate load module. For details on information that is passed to the link-edit utility, see Link-edit parameters and load module attributes.

Note: If SMP/E cannot determine the load module for a module, it presumes that the configuration of the target system does not require the module, and does no link-edit or copy. However, it replaces the RMID subentry of the MOD entry with the ID of the SYSMOD supplying the ++MOD or causing the assembly.

Specific processing depends on whether the load module was part of a totally copied library, selectively copied, or defined by link-edit JCL. In addition, special processing is done for the nucleus load module (IEANUC01). For more information, see these topics:
