Kurt,
THANX!!! I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I was
hoping that XZREQ would do the COREQ the same as IFREQ. What we're
installing for a trial run is Omegamon for z/OS - Storage, Networks,
and Performance. I did NOT want it in my z/OS zones so I had to from
scratch create the SMP/e world. Also NOT provided was the fact that
there were shared libraries but not shared allocations so I figured
I'd use separate zones. Then ran into the COREQ issue. I will now go
to one zone and fight thru allocations. THANX!!!

I've got what I thought would be correct coding using XZREQ and
XZGROUP. I created an XZGROUP that contains the 3 target zones. I
code an apply check using XZREQ and XZGROUP(OMEGME) and get missing coreqs.

COREQ is not the same as IFREQ. A COREQ (co-requisite) identifies
something that must be applied, unconditionally, in the same target
zone. An IFREQ (conditional-requisite) is optional and may be
applied in the same target zone, or may be installed in a different
target zone, or not at all.
Although your cross-zone IFREQ checking is nice, it doesn't help in
this case. The REQ operand on HKN3410 tells SMP/E that the "shared"
FMIDs are required to be installed in the same target zone. I'm not
familiar with HKN3410, so I can't say whether the REQ identifies
installation dependencies (must be applied in the same target zone
for proper SMP/E installation) or execution dependencies (must be
present in the execution environment for proper product execution) or both.
Generally I don't recommend you BYPASS REQ, PRE, IFREQ, or ID as you
show in your example.
