The ++PROGRAM statement is used to define replacements for program elements, which are pre-built load modules or program objects. (For a complete description of program elements, see the topic on MCSs in SMP/E for z/OS Reference.) You can add a program element by packaging it in a USERMOD.

++PROGRAM(name)             /* Data element type, name */
     DISTLIB(dlibname)      /* DLIB ddname             */.

To be packaged inline, a program element must be unloaded along with its aliases into a sequential data set and then transformed with GIMDTS into the required fixed-block-80 record format before it is packaged. Later, when SMP/E installs the element, it is changed back to its original format. For more information about using GIMDTS, , see SMP/E for z/OS Reference.
