For each SYSMOD selected for RECEIVE processing, SMP/E takes these
actions: :
- Saves the complete SYSMOD, unchanged and including any inline
changes, as a member in the SMPPTS data set. This member is called
an MCS entry.
- Creates a SYSMOD entry in the global zone. This entry contains
information SMP/E needs to determine SYSMOD applicability during later
SMP/E processing. For example, if a source ID was specified on the
RECEIVE command, SMP/E saves that value in the SYSMOD entry.
Note: - If a SYSMOD entry already exists, but contains only HOLD reason
IDs, those reason IDs are saved in the SYSMOD entry for the SYSMOD
that was received.
- If a SYSMOD was received again, the existing SYSMOD entry in the
global zone is completely replaced, except for the ACCID and APPID
subentries. These are saved in the new SYSMOD entry so there is still
a record of the zones where the SYSMOD has already been installed.
- Adds the FMID of each function SYSMOD received to the global zone.
This enables SMP/E to receive SYSMODs applicable to that function
SYSMOD.
Message control statement entries for SYSMODs that were not selected
are not saved in the SMPPTS data set.
