Operands

BEGINDATE

indicates that you should use ++HOLD statements received by SMP/E on or after the specified date for REPORT ERRSYSMODS processing. BEGINDATE can be used alone or with ENDDATE to define the range of the ++HOLD statements to be used.

The date is specified as mm dd yy, where mm is the month (01–12), dd is the day (01–31), and yy is the year (00–99). Blanks separate the month, day, and year.

Note:

BEGINDATE is allowed only on the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command.
If BEGINDATE is specified without ENDDATE, SMP/E uses either the DATE parameter on the GIMSMP EXEC statement or the current date as the end date.

ENDDATE

indicates that you should use ++HOLD statements received by SMP/E on or before the specified date for REPORT ERRSYSMODS processing. ENDDATE can be used alone or with BEGINDATE to define the range of the ++HOLD statements to be used.

The date is specified as mm dd yy, where mm is the month (01–12), dd is the day (01–31), and yy is the year (00–99). Blanks separate the month, day, and year.

Note:

ENDDATE is only allowed on the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command.
If ENDDATE is specified without BEGINDATE, SMP/E processes all HOLDDATA processed by SMP/E on or before the specified end date.

ERRSYSMODS

requests a report about SYSMODs for which ++HOLD message control statements with error reason IDs have been received.

For target and distribution zones, SMP/E reports on SYSMODs that meet all these conditions:
- They have been installed in any of the specified target and distribution zones. (They are not installed in error, have not been deleted, and have not been superseded.)
- They are in HOLDERROR status in the global zone. (++HOLD statements with error reason IDs have been received for the SYSMODs.)
- The error reason IDs are not resolved. (That is, the error reason ID has not been installed, and no SYSMODs that supersede the error reason ID have been installed.)
For the global zone, SMP/E reports on SYSMODs that meet these conditions:
- They have been received.
- They are in HOLDERROR status in the global zone. (++HOLD statements with error reason IDs have been received for the SYSMODs.)

ERRSYSMODS is a required operand for the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command.

Note:

ERRSYSMODS is mutually exclusive with CALLLIBS, CROSSZONE, SOURCEID, and SYSMODS.
ERRSYSMODS can also be specified as ERRSYS.

FORFMID

specifies the FMIDs used to limit which SYSMODs are included in the report. This list can include FMIDs, FMIDSET names, or both.

If FORFMID is specified, SMP/E lists only the SYSMODs that have ++HOLD statements with these FMIDs.

If FORFMID is not specified, SMP/E reports on all the affected SYSMODs in the specified zones.

NOPUNCH

indicates that SMP/E should not write any output to SMPPUNCH. If NOPUNCH is not specified, JCL or commands are written to SMPPUNCH. This output contains JCL or commands that can be used for further processing.

Note: The output produced by REPORT ERRSYSMODS processing contains commands for installing SYSMODs that resolve the error hold reason IDs for exception SYSMODs.

ZONES

specifies which zones SMP/E should report on. This list can include zone names, ZONESET names, or both. You can specify the global zone, target zones, distribution zones, or any combination of these. SMP/E produces a separate report for each zone it checks.

For each specified value, SMP/E first checks for a ZONESET with the same name. If none is found, SMP/E checks for a zone with the same name. For example, suppose you have a ZONESET named SYS1 and a zone named SYS1. If you specify SYS1 on this operand, SMP/E assumes you want to use the zones defined in ZONESET SYS1 (which might or might not include zone SYS1), and not the individual zone SYS1.

ZONES is a required operand on the REPORT ERRSYSMODS command.
