I've started working with the Health Checker on our z/OS 1.7 system and encountered something that confused me, and I haven't found a clear answer in the Fine Manuals, so I turn to the collective wisdom of the List.
After starting and stopping the Health Checker a few times to see what it did by default, I needed to customize a few things, so I copied the supplied HZSPROC proc from CPAC.PROCLIB into our SYS2.PROCLIB.ZOSR17 (which is first in our JES2 PROC00 concatenation - CPAC.PROCLIB is third) and modified the HZSPDATA DD and changed "HZSPRM=00" to "HZSPRM='(00,01)'". When I started HZSPROC again, I was surprised to see no changes. Message IEFC001I stated: PROCEDURE HZSPROC WAS EXPANDED USING INSTREAM PROCEDURE DEFINITION Eh? What? Huh? I at least expected to see that the proc had been expanded from a PDS, not "instream". This behavior is new to me. It seemed as though the proc was being read from CPAC.PROCLIB, so I renamed it there, and the next time I issued "S HZSPROC", I got what I expected - message IEFC001I stated the proc was expanded from my proc library. But if I rename the member in CPAC.PROCLIB back to HZSPROC and issue "S HZSPROC" again, I get the original behavior - the proc is expanded using instream procedure definition. The unusual thing about HZSPROC (at least to me) is that it has a JOB card in it -- as the HC User's Guide says: "Note that although this looks like a batch job it is a started task." -- but that doesn't indicate the system would bypass the first HZSPROC member found in the PROC00 concatenation and read a different one, does it? For our testing purposes, I had taken the JOB card out of "our" HZSPROC and the JESLOG=SUPPRESS so we could view all the JESLOG messages. I'd appreciate any insight, if anyone has any.
