Usage notes
- If the module is packaged inline, it must immediately follow the ++MOD MCS and must not contain any records that start with ++. Neither FROMDS, LKLIB, RELFILE, nor TXLIB may be specified.
- If the module is packaged in a TXLIB data set, the ddname specified on the TXLIB operand is required during APPLY and ACCEPT processing.
- If the module is in an LKLIB data set, the ddname specified in the LKLIB operand is required during APPLY and ACCEPT processing. Module replacements in an LKLIB data set must be in load module format (that is, processed by the link-edit utility).
- For information about packaging SYSMODs in RELFILE, TXLIB, or inline format, see z/OS Packaging Rules.
- There are several ways to associate a module with a load module:
- The DISTLIB library can be totally copied into the target library.
- JCLIN can identify the module as part of one or more load modules.
- The LMOD operand on the ++MOD MCS can indicate the associated load module.
If SMP/E cannot identify the load module associated with a given module, it does not update the target libraries during APPLY processing. Instead, it issues warning message GIM43401W.
