Or why did SMP/E do this to me? I ran my APPLY CHECK and got a good
return code. However, when I did the apply, I got a number of linkedit
failures. Why does SMP/E link directly in to the target library? I got a
number of messages akin to:
GIM23911E ** LINK-EDIT PROCESSING FOR SYSMOD UK10902 FAILED FOR MODULE
EZAAD028
IN LMOD EZALIOX0 IN THE SMPLTS LIBRARY. THE RETURN CODE
(12)
EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE VALUE. DATE 06.289 - TIME 13:53:06 -
SEQUENCE NUMBER 000910 - SYSPRINT FILE SMP00104.
When I look, there are a bunch of unresolved references from DLLs(?).
Messages like:
IEW2456E 9207 SYMBOL msgDisplay UNRESOLVED. MEMBER COULD NOT BE
INCLUDED FROM THE DESIGNATED CALL LIBRARY.
Curiously, a previous PTF successfully relinked the same member,
EZAFTPLC, and "found" the symbol msgDisplay. In the words of Vinnie
Babarino, "I'm so confused!" (ref: Welcome back, Kotter)
I am doing a RESTORE to back out my maintenance. But if I get too
irratated, I'll just restore my volumes and SMP/E datasets. Why doesn't
RESTORE have the equivalent of GROUPEXTEND? I restore the "bad" PTFs,
but they fail because they hit a module affected by another PTF. So I
put that new set of "related" PTFs in my RESTORE and rerun, only to find
another set of PTFs.
It's been too <elided> long since I've done this, I guess. I normally
just do "system replacements". Now I remember why that is.
