Modules

RESTORE processing for modules is essentially the same as APPLY processing, except that the source for the module replacement is the module distribution library rather than the selected version from a SYSMOD. For the detailed description, see Module replacements.

Note:

A superzap (that is, ++ZAP) is also considered a module, because the whole module is replaced from the distribution libraries.
If MODDEL subentries were added to LMOD entries to indicate that a module was deleted during APPLY processing, the MODDEL subentries are deleted from the LMOD entries during RESTORE processing.
SMP/E checks whether load modules to be updated have XZMOD subentries with the same name as a module selected to update the load module. If so, SYSMOD processing stops.
When multiple output libraries must be updated for link-edit processing, SMP/E may initiate a separate subtask for each such library, as described in Multitasking of link-edit utility invocations.
