APPLY return codes

00

APPLY processing completed successfully.

04

APPLY processing completed, but one or more warning messages have been issued. Processing did not stop for any SYSMODs. The user needs to determine whether the warnings issued really identify an error that needs to be addressed by some corrective action. These are some possible situations that can cause a warning message to be issued during APPLY processing:

APPLY called a system utility program to perform some work and the utility program issued a nonzero, but still acceptable, return code. Calls to one of the following utility programs could generate this return code:
- Assembler (default: ASMBLR)
- Copy, compress, retry utility (default: IEBCOPY)
- Update utility (default: IEBUPDTE)
- Superzap utility (default: IMASPZAP)
- Linkage editor (default: IEWL or IEWBLINK)
If the return code in the UTILITY entries are correctly set for the FMIDs being processed, there should be no problem with the libraries updated by the identified utilities.
APPLY attempted to reassemble a module because of a macro modification. However, no assembler input could be found in either the target zone or the distribution library specified in the DISTSRC or ASMLIB operand list. The module was not reassembled, but SMP/E sets the APPLY status indicator in the affected target zone SYSMOD entries.
An error was encountered during the cross-zone phase of command processing. The user may need to take corrective action outside of SMP/E processing.

APPLY processing completed, but processing errors occurred. Processing stopped for at least one SYSMOD. These are some possible errors:

APPLY called a system utility program to perform some work, but the utility program issued a nonzero and unacceptable return code. Calls to one of the following utility programs could generate this return code:
- Assembler (default: ASMBLR)
- Copy, compress, retry utility (default: IEBCOPY)
- Update utility (default: IEBUPDTE)
- Superzap utility (default: IMASPZAP)
- Linkage editor (default: IEWL or IEWBLINK)
SMP/E sets the APPLY and ERROR status indicators in the affected target zone SYSMOD entries.
A SYSMOD was held for an error reason ID that was not resolved. Check the Causer SYSMOD Summary report and, if necessary, error messages in the SMPOUT output to determine the cause of the problem.
SMP/E encountered an error while scanning superzap control statements. Check SMPOUT output for error messages to determine the cause of the problem.
SMP/E sets the APPLY and ERROR status indicators in the affected target zone SYSMOD entries. However, the module was not updated unless an EXPAND linkage editor control statement was included in the modification. In this case, the module was link-edited to expand its size and the load module was replaced in the target library.
A superzap VERIFY REJECT was encountered by the superzap. Check SYSPRINT output for error messages to determine the cause of the problem.
SMP/E sets the APPLY and ERROR status indicators in the affected target zone SYSMOD entries. However, the module was not updated unless an EXPAND linkage editor control statement was included in the modification. In this case, the module was link-edited to expand the size, and the load module was replaced in the target library.
A DD statement required by SMP/E was missing. APPLY did not process any SYSMOD that required the missing DD statement.
The target zone entry for a SYSMOD specified on the SELECT operand indicates that the SYSMOD was superseded by another SYSMOD.
A TXLIB or LKLIB member cannot be found. SMP/E sets the APPLY and ERROR status indicators in the affected target zone SYSMOD entries.
A SYSMOD specified in the SELECT operand list was not found on the SMPPTS.
The PEMAX value being used was too small to process one or more SYSMOD entries or selected element entries being modified. If PEMAX was too small for the element entries, SMP/E may have set the APPLY and ERROR status indicators in the affected target zone SYSMOD entries. Check SMPOUT output for error messages to determine which SYSMODs or elements were affected.
SMP/E could not open a target or distribution library. SMP/E may have set the APPLY and ERROR status indicators in the affected target zone SYSMOD entries.
A SYSMOD containing an element update (++MACUPD, ++SRCUPD, or ++ZAP) attempted to change the ownership of the element with the ++VER VERSION operand. The ownership can be changed only if the SYSMOD provides a replacement for the element.

12

APPLY processing stopped. These are some possible errors:

A function SYSMOD was selected for processing. However, processing stopped for the function before any target libraries were updated.
No SYSMODs met APPLY specifications.
GETMAIN failed during APPLY processing.
SMP/E could not open or close a data set.
The APPLY command contained a syntax error.
A DD statement required by SMP/E was missing.
A previous command issued an unacceptable return code.

16

A severe error caused SMP/E processing to stop. These are some possible errors:

The copy utility was called to compress a data set but issued an unacceptable return code. No SYSMODs were applied, but elements that would have been replaced by SYSMODs that would have been applied may have been deleted from their target libraries.
Note: The target libraries might be unusable. Examine the IEBCOPY output to determine the status of the data set when IEBCOPY failed.
A severe error occurred during an attempt to access an SMP/E data set.
An error occurred while writing a message.
