++ASSIGN MCS

Operands

SOURCEID

is a 1- to 64-character string identifying the source of the SYSMODs being processed. SMP/E associates the SOURCEID value with the SYSMODs named on the ++ASSIGN MCS. The SOURCEID value can consist of any nonblank character (X'41' through X'FE') except single quotation mark ('), asterisk (*), percent (%), comma (,), left parenthesis (() and right parenthesis ()).

TO

specifies the SYSMODs with which the source ID is to be associated.

Usage notes

• The source ID specified on the ++ASSIGN statement is added to any source ID that was assigned to a specified SYSMOD by the RECEIVE command. It is also added to any source IDs currently associated with a specified SYSMOD that has already been received.
• ++ASSIGN statements are processed only when the SMPPTFIN data set is processed.
  • If the whole SMPPTFIN data set is processed, all ++ASSIGN statements are processed.
  • If only selected SYSMODs are processed, the ++ASSIGN statements for those SYSMODs are processed.

  ++ASSIGN statements are not processed when only the SMPHOLD data set is being processed.

• The SOURCEID and TO values must be validly specified and cannot be blank or null. For more information about source ID naming conventions, see Naming conventions for source IDs.
• The source ID is not assigned to any SYSMODs that are not in the global zone.
• The same SYSMOD cannot appear more than once on a single ++ASSIGN MCS.
• If the same SYSMOD appears on more than one ++ASSIGN MCS, all the source IDs are associated with the SYSMOD.
• The ++ASSIGN MCS is used in the SMPPTFIN data set and can be placed between, before, or after SYSMODs, ++FEATURE MCS, or ++PRODUCT MCS.

  It must be followed by one of the following: a ++APAR, ++FEATURE, ++FUNCTION, ++PRODUCT, ++PTF, or ++USERMOD MCS; another ++ASSIGN MCS; or an end-of-file. If one of these does not follow, SMP/E does not receive the SYSMOD being processed, and it skips the ++ASSIGN MCS.
