In the previous example, you directed SMP/E to automatically include all SYSMODs needed for the specified product. There may be times when you want to see which SYSMODs are included before you actually install them. You can do this with the CHECK operand by issuing the following commands:

   SET      BDY(ZOSTGT1).
   APPLY    PTFS
            APARS
            FORFMID(HOP0001)
            GROUPEXTEND
            CHECK.

After these commands are processed, you can check the SYSMOD Status report to see which SYSMODs would have been installed if you had not specified the CHECK operand. If you are satisfied with the results of this trial run, you can issue the commands again, without the CHECK operand, to actually install the SYSMODs.
