After ACCEPT processing completes or abends, examine SMPOUT and SYSPRINT output to determine the relative success of the command. Check any reports that were produced.

For partially accepted SYSMODs, SMP/E sets the ACCEPT and ERROR status indicators in the affected distribution zone SYSMOD entries.

You must rerun ACCEPT for a SYSMOD that failed during a previous ACCEPT. After an ACCEPT fails, SMP/E does not allow any command other than ACCEPT to be run for that SYSMOD. If you remove the ERROR status indicator in the distribution zone SYSMOD entry and then try to restore other SYSMODs whose elements may have been updated or replaced in the distribution libraries by the SYSMOD in error, you should expect unpredictable results. The following processing takes place when you rerun ACCEPT:

• All linkage editor processing is repeated.
• All IEBCOPY processing is repeated.
• All macro and source module updating is repeated.
• All assemblies are repeated.
• All superzap processing is repeated. However, if any superzap processing completed through the superzap REPLACE stage, or if any superzap processing produced a superzap VERIFY REJECT in the previous ACCEPT, this rerun of ACCEPT will also fail. To correct this problem, do the following:
  1. Obtain the superzap control cards from the SMPPTS for the modules affected by the SYSMOD. To do this, use the IEBPTPCH utility to punch the SYSMOD.
  2. Reject the SYSMOD from the SMPPTS.
  3. Correct any superzap modification processed that caused a VERIFY REJECT.
  4. Receive and accept the SYSMOD as corrected.
