The enhanced Exception SYSMOD Report, available as a small programming enhancement (SPE) for OS/390® V1R3 SMP/E, includes IBM® OS/390 Enhanced HOLDDATA that is provided in ++HOLD statements. The report is reformatted so that it is ordered by FMID within each requested zone. (Previously, the report was ordered by SYSMOD within each zone.) A summary section is placed at the end of the report. The enhanced REPORT ERRSYSMODS command continues to work with legacy HOLDDATA.

The REPORT ERRSYSMODS command was enhanced by this SPE to handle held SYSMODs. Previously, a held, resolving SYSMOD was placed in the SMPPUNCH output, but was commented out. The customer had to rerun REPORT ERRSYSMODS command against the GLOBAL zone to determine if the held, resolving SYSMOD had an available resolving SYSMOD. REPORT ERRSYSMODS does this research for the customer and produces one SMPPUNCH output.
