Would the regressed-usermod message still pop up if one of the 347 other modules in lmod CEEPLPKA besides CEEPLPKA itself was hit by maintenance?
You shouldn't need to know this... you should only need to know when the zapped MOD is hit by maintenance.
Supposedly, an ADD LMOD(CEEPLPKA) UMID(usermod) UCLIN is an option, but since that field doesn't show up in a list of an LMOD, I wonder if it really works.
Can't do that; no such thing as a UMID for an LMOD.
And how do I code the actual usermod to pull in CEEPLPKA, zap it, and stick it in an application-specific library? I'm pretty sure SMP/e will frown upon me trying to use the same name for the mod while sticking it in a different library (without hurting the production CEEPLPKA). I was thinking of setting the usermod element up with a different name and giving it the alias of CEEPLPKA, but wasn't sure how "aware" SMP/e's alias processing was in v3.4.
Thats exactly what you need to do. Define/create a new load module with a different name in a different library, and give it an alias for CEEPLPKA. Do this with JCLIN. In fact, your best bet is to copy the JCLIN for the real LMOD from the FMID or from a PTF, but change the SYSLMOD and LMOD name, and add an ALIAS statement.
In addition, make a copy of the module you wish to zap; define/create a new module with a different name for the MOD. This ensures you won't contaminate the existing MOD in its existing LMOD(s). The object deck for the MOD can be copied from a PTF. Don't forget to change the INCLUDE statement in the JCLIN to use the new-name for the MOD.
A little twist, you'll need two USERMODs; the first with the JCLIN and the ++MOD, and the second with the ++ZAP (a single SYSMOD cannot contain both a ++MOD and a ++ZAP for the same module).
And finally, use the UCLIN suggested by others to add a UMID to the original MOD. This will give you the notification when this MOD changes.
