Validating load module contents with MODLEVEL

Edit online

IBM® Software Support may request that you submit the MODLEVEL JCL to identify the current modification levels of your product load modules.

MODLEVEL displays internal identifiers that can be used by IBM Software Support to determine the level of the product you are running. This information is based on information stored internally within load modules. Please note that only the last update (level) will contain the fix and revision number and the change date. All other fixes will have only the ID number.

If you experience difficulty running the report, or have any questions, contact IBM Software Support.

JCL for MODLEVEL can be found in member CKZMLVL in the SCKZJCL library. The following is an example of the MODLEVEL JCL.

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=CKZ01MOD
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CKZ.LOAD (your LOAD library)
//SYSUT1   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=*.STEPLIB 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

DD statements for the MODLEVEL JCL are as follows:

STEPLIB: Required. Specify the product LOAD library.
SYSPRINT: Required. Output DD statement.
SYSUT1: Required. Specify the primary LOAD library to be processed.

Execution of the MODLEVEL JCL creates a report containing the last fix and a list of fixes for all of the modules in the SYSUT1 library. The following is an example of the Db2 Cloning Tool Subsystem Cloning MODLEVEL report.
