Syntax notes

Figure 1 shows how SMP/E chooses which SYSMODs to process, on the basis of the operands specified on the APPLY command.

If you specify any of the operands in the top part of the chart, or if you do not specify the SELECT operand, SMP/E does mass-mode processing.
If you specify the SELECT operand, SMP/E does select-mode processing.
If you specify SELECT plus operands from the top part of the chart, SMP/E does both select-mode and mass-mode processing.

For more information about select-mode and mass-mode processing, see Candidate selection.

Remember the following when coding the APPLY command:

SMP/E applies SYSMODs specified on SELECT regardless of other APPLY operands (such as a SYSMOD type, SOURCEID, EXSRCID, or FORFMID). Therefore, if you want to apply a specific SYSMOD, you only need to specify the SYSMOD ID on SELECT. For example, to apply a specific APAR, you do not also have to include the APAR operand.
Note: If you do specify a SYSMOD type along with SELECT, SMP/E applies all SYSMODs of the specified type plus the selected SYSMOD.
If you specify more than one SYSMOD type, a SYSMOD needs to match only one of the specified types.
If the SOURCEID, FORFMID, and SYSMOD type operands are specified together, only those SYSMODs meeting all the conditions are applied. (For a SYSMOD type, the SYSMOD must meet just one of the type conditions.)
