Checking the update (ACCEPT CHECK)

The ACCEPT CHECK job provides the same function for the distribution libraries that the APPLY CHECK job provided for the target libraries. See Checking the update (APPLY CHECK).

Use the SMP/E dialogs or the following sample job to do an ACCEPT CHECK for preventive service. This example is an ACCEPT CHECK job for PTFs in service level 0703:

//ACCEPT   JOB 'accounting info',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//ACCEPTCK EXEC SMPPROC
//SMPCNTL  DD *
SET      BDY(DLIB1)         /* Set to DLIB zone.        */.
ACCEPT   SOURCEID(PUT0703)  /* Accept this service level*/
         GROUPEXTEND(       /*  Include requisite PTFs  */
                NOAPARS     /*  Don't include APARs or  */
                NOUSERMODS) /*  USERMODs                */
         CHECK              /*  but do not update libs. */
         SELECT(sysmod-id,…) /* Select additional     */
                            /* service if required.     */
         BYPASS(HOLDCLASS(ERREL,UCLREL)
                HOLDSYSTEM) .
/*

Note: This example can be used for PTFs from either a CBPDO or an ESO.

If you want to install preventive service only on selected functional areas of the system, you can also specify the FORFMID operand on the ACCEPT command, specifying either specific function identifiers (FMIDs) or the name of one or more FMIDSETs.
