++ASSIGN MCS

The ++ASSIGN MCS assigns a source identifier (source ID) to one or more specified SYSMODs, as long as those SYSMODs are in the SMPPTS data set by the end of RECEIVE processing.

Syntax


++ASSIGN MCS

>>-++ASSIGN--SOURCEID--(--source_id--)-------------------------->

          .-,---------.         
          V           |         
>--TO--(----sysmod_id-+--)--•----------------------------------><

Operands

SOURCEID: is a 1- to 64-character string identifying the source of the SYSMODs being processed. SMP/E associates the SOURCEID value with the SYSMODs named on the ++ASSIGN MCS. The SOURCEID value can consist of any nonblank character (X'41' through X'FE') except single quotation mark ('), asterisk (*), percent (%), comma (,), left parenthesis (() and right parenthesis ()).
TO: specifies the SYSMODs with which the source ID is to be associated.

Usage notes

The source ID specified on the ++ASSIGN statement is added to any source ID that was assigned to a specified SYSMOD by the RECEIVE command. It is also added to any source IDs currently associated with a specified SYSMOD that has already been received.
++ASSIGN statements are processed only when the SMPPTFIN data set is processed.
- If the whole SMPPTFIN data set is processed, all ++ASSIGN statements are processed.
- If only selected SYSMODs are processed, the ++ASSIGN statements for those SYSMODs are processed.
++ASSIGN statements are not processed when only the SMPHOLD data set is being processed.
The SOURCEID and TO values must be validly specified and cannot be blank or null. For more information about source ID naming conventions, see Naming conventions for source IDs.
The source ID is not assigned to any SYSMODs that are not in the global zone.
The same SYSMOD cannot appear more than once on a single ++ASSIGN MCS.
If the same SYSMOD appears on more than one ++ASSIGN MCS, all the source IDs are associated with the SYSMOD.
The ++ASSIGN MCS is used in the SMPPTFIN data set and can be placed between, before, or after SYSMODs, ++FEATURE MCS, or ++PRODUCT MCS.
It must be followed by one of the following: a ++APAR, ++FEATURE, ++FUNCTION, ++PRODUCT, ++PTF, or ++USERMOD MCS; another ++ASSIGN MCS; or an end-of-file. If one of these does not follow, SMP/E does not receive the SYSMOD being processed, and it skips the ++ASSIGN MCS.

Examples

Here are some examples of ++ASSIGN statements for SYSMODs from several preventive service levels that have been merged into the same ESO tape. A ++ASSIGN MCS has been placed between the groups of SYSMODs to identify their source:

++ASSIGN SOURCEID(PUT0701)  /* service level 0701.      */
TO(UZ12345,UZ12346).
++PTF(UZ12345)              /* PTF UZ12345              */.
++VER(Z038) FMID(HXP1100)   /* for MVS function HXP1100.*/.
++MOD(A) DISTLIB(DN554)     /* Update module A.         */.
A
++PTF(UZ12346)              /* PTF UZ12346              */.
++VER(Z038) FMID(HXP1200)   /* for MVS function HXP1200.*/.
++MOD(C) DISTLIB(DN554)     /* Update module C.         */.
