Staging the SYSMODs: The RECEIVE process

Because a USERMOD is generally processed as a single SYSMOD, processing is similar to that for corrective service; that is, it is received by use of the SELECT option. Use the SMP/E dialogs or the following sample job to receive the USERMOD:

//RECEIVE  JOB 'accounting info',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//RECEIVE  EXEC SMPPROC
//SMPPTFIN DD …points to input with your USERMOD
//*              If you put the USERMOD in a data set
//*                 refer to that data set.
//*              If the USERMOD is in card format
//*                 use "DD *" followed by the cards.
//*              Create your data set in LRECL=80,
//*                 FB format.
//SMPCNTL  DD *
SET      BDY(GLOBAL)        /* Set to global zone.      */.
RECEIVE  SELECT(            /* Receive selected SYSMODs.*/
                xxxxxxx     /* Specify USERMOD number.  */
               )            /*                          */
         SYSMODS            /* Only process SMPPTFIN -
                               do not look at SMPHOLD.  */.
/*

Note: No source ID was assigned, because the SYSMOD is installed selectively in the APPLY step. If you want to assign a common value to all the USERMODs or tag each of them with some sort of identifier (such as programmer initials), you can use the SOURCEID operand.

If the input data set contains only USERMODs that you want to receive now, you can omit the SELECT operand. SMP/E then attempts to process all SYSMODs in the SMPPTFIN input data set.
