For each element in the list of candidates, SMP/E determines if the element's distribution library has been totally copied to a target library. A distribution library has been totally copied if a DLIB entry describing the distribution library is found in the zone. The SYSLIB subentry of the DLIB entry identifies the target library. If any totally copied distribution libraries are found, a JCLIN copy step is created that contains one COPY statement for each DLIB entry.
