Processing SYSMODs

SMP/E for z/OS Commands
SA23-2275-01

For each SYSMOD selected for RECEIVE processing, SMP/E takes these actions: :
  • Saves the complete SYSMOD, unchanged and including any inline changes, as a member in the SMPPTS data set. This member is called an MCS entry.
  • Creates a SYSMOD entry in the global zone. This entry contains information SMP/E needs to determine SYSMOD applicability during later SMP/E processing. For example, if a source ID was specified on the RECEIVE command, SMP/E saves that value in the SYSMOD entry.
    Note:
    1. If a SYSMOD entry already exists, but contains only HOLD reason IDs, those reason IDs are saved in the SYSMOD entry for the SYSMOD that was received.
    2. If a SYSMOD was received again, the existing SYSMOD entry in the global zone is completely replaced, except for the ACCID and APPID subentries. These are saved in the new SYSMOD entry so there is still a record of the zones where the SYSMOD has already been installed.
  • Adds the FMID of each function SYSMOD received to the global zone. This enables SMP/E to receive SYSMODs applicable to that function SYSMOD.

Message control statement entries for SYSMODs that were not selected are not saved in the SMPPTS data set.
