Example 6: Applying with the CHECK operand

In Example 4, SMP/E was directed to automatically include SYSMODs needed for the selected function and service. At times, you may want to review which SYSMODs is included before you actually install them. This can be done by using the CHECK operand of APPLY, as in the following commands:

SET      BDY(MVSTST1)       /* Process MVSTST1 tgt zone.  */.
APPLY    FORFMID(HYY2102)   /* For one FMID.              */
         FUNCTIONS PTFS     /* Functions and PTFs         */
         GROUP              /* plus requisites            */
         CHECK              /* in check mode.             */.

After running this command, check the SYSMOD Status report to see which SYSMODs would have been installed if you had not specified CHECK. If the results of this trial run are acceptable, run the commands again, without the CHECK operand, to actually install the SYSMODs.
