Can I put non-policy statements in my HZSPRMxx member?

We don't recommend that you put non-policy statements in HZSPRMxx. Your HZSPRMxx member should include only:
  • POLICY statements.
  • LOGGER statement
  • Start of changeHZSPDATA statementEnd of change
  • Start of changeWHEN statementsEnd of change
  • ADD | ADDREPLACE CHECK statements

The system applies non-policy statements, such as UPDATE, ADDNEW, or DISPLAY, just once and only to currently active checks. This means that including non-policy statements in your HZSPRMxx member is ineffective. Non-policy statements that you put in your HZSPRMxx member are not part of your IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® policy.
