This processing occurs when the DEFINITION operand is specified
on the GZONEMERGE command.
For each definition entry in the originating zone, SMP/E checks
to see whether that entry exists in the destination zone.
- If the same-named definition entry is not found, the entry from
the originating global zone is stored in the destination global zone.
- If the same-named definition entry is found, then processing continues
based on the type of definition entry.
- For DDDEF, FMIDSET, OPTIONS, ORDER, UTILITY, and ZONESET
entries, if the originating global zone contains an entry that does
not appear in the destination global zone, then the entry from the
originating global zone is stored in the destination global zone. (The
DDDEF entries for the SMPPTS and its spill data sets are not merged
by GZONEMERGE processing.)
- For the GLOBALZONE entry, processing continues to determine which
subentries within the GLOBALZONE entry to merge.
