Utility problems

If you have a problem when running a utility program under SMP/E:

Check the utility output in the SYSPRINT data set and SMP/E messages in SMPOUT for indications of problems during utility processing. SMP/E writes a time, date, and sequence number stamp on the completion messages for copy, link-edit, superzap, and update processing. Since the same sequence number is included in the utility SYSPRINT output, it can be used as an index to more easily find the desired information in the SYSPRINT data set. Assembler messages have a time and date stamp you can use to find assembler output.
Note: These completion messages appear only after APPLY, ACCEPT, and RESTORE processing.
Check to see whether the associated UTILITY entry refers to the correct program and return code. Note that the RETURN CODE value in the LMOD entry overrides (for that load module) the value in the UTILITY entry. Check to see whether this LMOD RC value is appropriate for this utility program.
If you still are not sure whether SMP/E or the utility caused the error, run the job outside SMP/E, if possible, to see if the same problem occurs. Use the same libraries and either recreate the same job or run a similar utility job.
