SMPMTS

ddname
SMPMTS.
Use
Start of changeThe SMPMTS data set (MTS) is a target library for macros that exist only in a distribution library. This data set allows the current version of these macros to be used for assemblies during APPLY processing. For more information about MTS entries, see MTSMAC entry (SMPMTS).End of change
Attributes
Partitioned; LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=multiple of 80, RECFM=FB, DISP=OLD.
Device
Direct access only.
Note:
  1. Each target zone must have its own SMPMTS data set that is not shared by any other target zone. This SMPMTS data set may be used with the related distribution zone.
  2. For APPLY processing, the SMPMTS data set must be allocated with enough space to hold all the system generation macros, as well as any other macros that do not reside in a target library. This is because functions are now packaged with a complete set of system generation macros.
  3. The SMPMTS data set must be in the SYSLIB concatenation for APPLY and RESTORE processing. It can be in the SYSLIB concatenation for ACCEPT processing. For information about SYSLIB concatenation requirements, see SMP/E for z/OS User's Guide.
