SMP/E ZONEMERGE enhancements

Description: SMP/E provides enhanced ZONEMERGE command processing. Three operands have been introduced with this enhancement: BYPASS(IFREQ), CHECK, and VERIFY. These operands allow ZONEMERGE processing to verify target and distribution zones that can be merged without conflicts and without creating incompatible SYSMOD relationships. In addition, ZONERMERGE will both enforce SYSMOD requisites and preserve conditional requisites. These enhancements are intended to allow products in separate SMP/E zones to be merged, consolidating product sets and simplifying overall software management.
