Checking the update (APPLY CHECK)

The purpose of this job is to verify that the SYSMODs are installed correctly and that you understand which libraries and load modules in the system are affected. Use the SMP/E dialogs or the following sample job to do an APPLY CHECK for the USERMOD:

//APPLY    JOB 'accounting info',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//APPLYCHK EXEC SMPPROC
//SMPCNTL  DD *
SET      BDY(TGT1)          /* Set to target zone.      */.
APPLY    SELECT(            /* Install selected SYSMOD. */
                xxxxxxx     /* Specify SYSMOD name here.*/
               )            /*                          */
         CHECK              /* In check mode only.      */.

Note: At times, it may be necessary to reinstall a USERMOD; for example, after the installation of a PTF. If you are reinstalling it, the APPLY REDO operand is necessary. You may also have to specify one of the BYPASS operands; that depends on the relationship between your USERMOD and the PTF that was installed.
