The purpose of APPLY CHECK is to validate the MCS statements and their relationships. It cannot validate the operation of an invoked utility program. As to linking into the target library ... what possible difference would it make to use a temporary library? The problem of restoring a failure is hardly impacted by the target library, but rather the difficulty comes in from restoring the SYSMOD relationships within SMP/E. If SMP/E invoked the utilities during APPLY CHECK processing to some other temporary library, then that still wouldn't prevent problems during the actual APPLY since a LINKEDIT could still fail on space problems, or missing modules, etc. Adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
