Superseding SYSMODs (SUP)

SMP/E checks to make sure the SYSMOD has not been superseded by another SYSMOD that is already installed or by another SYSMOD being accepted concurrently. If the SYSMOD is superseded, it is not accepted, and the superseding SYSMOD is used instead.

Note: If the superseding SYSMOD is not processed because it is held or excluded or because some of its requisites are missing, processing continues as though the SYSMOD did not exist. The SYSMOD that would have been superseded is installed instead.

If a SYSMOD that is already accepted is being superseded, SMP/E ensures each of the elements contained in the superseded SYSMOD are also contained in either the superseding SYSMOD or in a SYSMOD from the requisite set for the superseding SYSMOD (unless the element is being deleted by the superseding SYSMOD).
