Format and explanation of data

The Exception SYSMOD Report contains one or two sections for each zone. The first section (shown in Figure 1) lists, by FMID, the held, installed SYSMODS and their resolving SYSMODs. If any of the resolving SYSMODs are held, there will be a second section (shown in Figure 2), for the zone that lists, by FMID, the resolving SYSMOD for each held SYSMOD. The number of APARs against each installed FMID and the number of resolving SYSMODs against each APAR are saved for later display in the summary section (shown in Figure 1).

These are the fields in the report:

xxxxxxx

is the name of the zone being reported on. A separate report is provided for each zone specified on the ZONES operand of the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command.

DATE: vv/vv/vv - ww/ww/ww

shows the beginning and ending dates of the HOLDDATA used to create this report. The dates appear as mm/dd/yy, where mm is the month (01 to 12), dd is the day (01 to 31), and yy is the year (00 to 99).

vv/vv/vv is the beginning date of the HOLDDATA used to create this report.
If the BEGINDATE operand was specified on the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command, that value appears in this field. Otherwise, the word THROUGH appears.
ww/ww/ww is the ending date of the HOLDDATA used to create this report.
If the ENDDATE operand was specified on the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command, that value appears in this field. Otherwise, the current date or the IPL date (if any) specified on the EXEC statement for GIMSMP is used.

If neither BEGINDATE nor ENDDATE was specified on the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command, no dates appear in this field.

HOLD FMID

is the FMID of the ++HOLD MCS that was received for the HOLDERROR reason ID.

SYSMOD NAME

is the ID of a SYSMOD installed in the specified zone that meets these conditions:

For target and distribution zones, it is an installed SYSMOD for which ++HOLD statements were received later and whose ERROR reason IDs have not yet been resolved.
For the global zone, it is a received SYSMOD for which ++HOLD statements with ERROR reason IDs have been received.

If there are no SYSMODs to report on in the zone, you see ***NONE in the SYSMOD NAME field, and the remaining fields are blank.

APAR NUMBER

is a list of one or more HOLDERROR reason IDs (APAR numbers) that caused the installed SYSMOD to become an exception SYSMOD.

RESOLVING SYSMODS NAMES

is the SYSMOD that will fix the problem causing the hold. It will either be the fix for the held SYSMOD or ***NONE, if there is no known fix.

RESOLVING SYSMODS STATUS

can have the following status values:

GOOD
The resolving SYSMOD is not held. This does not mean that the SYSMOD has been received. The RESOLVING SYSMOD RECEIVED column will provide that information. GOOD indicates that the resolving SYSMOD has no known problems.
ERREL
The resolving SYSMOD is held with a hold class of ERREL. ERREL indicates that, although the resolving SYSMOD is held, the problem that it resolves is more critical.
HELD
Resolving SYSMOD is held.

RESOLVING SYSMOD RECEIVED

indicates whether the resolving SYSMOD is received (YES) or not received (NO).

HOLD CLASS

is the hold class specified on the CLASS operand of the ++HOLD MCS that was being installed.

HOLD SYMPTOMS

field contains a description of the problem associated with the held SYSMOD. It may contain 3-character symbols representing various symptoms of the problem, a text description, or a combination of symptom symbols and text. The following symbols may appear:

DAL: Data Loss
FUL: Function Loss
IPL: Requires IPL
PRV: Pervasive Problem
PRF: Performance Problem

Only the first 57 characters of the SYMP field will be displayed in the Exception SYSMOD Report. End of change
