There is no UMID field on the LMOD. You could change LASTUPD, but that won't do anything. You are correct that you would have to use UCLIN to update the MOD entries for all of the MODs in CEEPLPKA in order to get the warning from SMP/E if there was any maintenance at all that hit CEEPLPKA. >And how do I code the actual usermod to pull in CEEPLPKA, zap it, and >stick it in an application-specific library? You could clone your TGT zone / libs or build a new zone just for the LE fmid (and libraries) and put the usermod on that zone. You would then have to apply any LE maintenance to both zones. >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). It will. Go back to the beginning. Why do you need to use SMP/E for this zap if you only want it for this one application library? Just copy the library and zap the module outside of SMP/E. If you are worried about losing some other maintenance to that module just for this one application, then whenever you apply z/OS maintenance add a post apply step to re-copy SCEERUN and apply the zap again. This is a manual procedure, but so is cloning after you apply maintenance. So add the step to your cloning procedures documentation / JCL. We also run an ISV product (perhaps the same one) that requires a zap to a module that is part of CEEPLPKA. Even though we only run the product on one LPAR, I still maintain the zap as a usermod. The sysres is used on many other LPARs that don't run the product, but the modification done by the ISV is such that if their product isn't running or activated it doesn't affect normal LE behavior. Perhaps this would be an option for you also.
