Usage notes
- If the element is packaged inline, it must immediately follow the data element MCS and must not contain any records that start with the characters ++. Neither FROMDS, nor RELFILE, nor TXLIB can be specified on the data element MCS.
- To be packaged inline, a data element must contain fixed-block-80 records. If the original format of the element is not fixed-block-80 records, you can use GIMDTS to transform the element into the required format before packaging it. Later, when SMP/E installs the element, it is changed back to its original format. For more information about using GIMDTS, see GIMDTS: Data transformation service routine.
- If the data element is packaged in a TXLIB data set, the ddname specified on the TXLIB operand is required during APPLY and ACCEPT processing.
- For information about packaging SYSMODs in RELFILE, TXLIB, or inline format, see z/OS Packaging Rules.
