The CHANGEFILE was added to SMP/E (quite) a while back to satisfy a user
requirement for a machine readable record of the changes implemented
during APPLY or RESTORE. The file is only minimally formatted because the
requirement did not ask for an elaborate report; just data sufficiently
keyworded that a user written Rexx, for example, could digest it and take
whatever action the user deemed appropriate.
To turn on CHANGEFILE via the SMP/E dialog, do this on the 'OPTIONS ENTRY
xxxxxxxx - GENERAL' panel:
CREATE LIBRARY ===> yes (YES or NO, default: NO) Create library
CHANGE FILE change file during APPLY and RESTORE
command processing.
Provide a DD card or DDDEF for SMPDATA1. This file could be put to disk
and used as input for a subseqent job step.

Subject: Re: Is there a way to have SMPE indicate if an LMOD is
changed?
Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]>
The "changefile" records I'm referring to live in SMPDATA1 / SMPDATA2.
Specifically, it looks like the E0 element record might be what you're
looking
for. It identifies LMODs that were changed during APPLY processing, as
well
as the target DD name, which can be resolved to the target DSN with the L0
record.

An Element Record Type 0 (E0) is created for each element or LMOD that
changed in a target library during APPLY or RESTORE processing. The term
changed in this context refers to an element or LMOD that been deleted or
replaced in a target library as a result of SMP/E processing. See Valid
action
types for more information.
The purpose of the E0 record is to identify the changed elements or LMODs
in
the associated target libraries identified by the L0 and L1 records.
