I don't like to depend on the coincidental search order of libraries that IBM supplies. We modify IRXCMPTM with an SMPE usermod. It goes on each new release with some simple MCS updates. The module goes into SYS1.LINKLIB.
BTW This is the right way to handle lots of customization. We have 70 - 80 usermods for everything from ISPF panels to system exits. Once you've the constructed the usermods, they're easy to maintain. You also have the incomparable of advantage of learning--via SMPE conflict messages--when something you've tailored is getting updated by IBM PTF, so you can go back and revisit/rework your usermod. . . .
