FROMNETWORK should be fully compatible with SELECT, FORFMID, and
EXCLUDE. The only documented restrictions are:
14.2.1 "SMP/E V3R4.0 Commands" IBM Library Server
Notes:
1. FROMNTS is mutually exclusive with FROMNETWORK and ORDER.
2. When FROMNTS is specified:
+ a DD or DDDEF for SMPNTS is required.
+ DDs or DDDEFs for SMPPTFIN and SMPHOLD are not required and are
ignored if
supplied.
+ RFPREFIX is ignored, if specified.
+ RECEIVE FROMNTS processing requires either the Integrated
Cryptographic
Services Facility (ICSF) or JAVA 2 Version 1 Release 4 in order to
compute a
SHA-1 hash value.
(The last is slightly confusing. Better would be: "If neither [ICSF] nor
[JAVA] is available, RECEIVE FROMNTS issues message GIM23411I and proceeds
without verifying SHA-1 hash values.")
I tried some experiments with SMP/E 34.14: I emptied my SMPPTS and deleted
my SMPTLIBs. I then did:
RECEIVE FROMNTS( package ) SELECT( one sysmod ) .
followed by
RECEIVE FROMNTS( package ) .
In both cases, only the expected SYSMODs were received. Better, the
relative files for the unselected SYSMODs were ignored and not
unzipped. All SMPPTFIN files were unzipped both times, but this is
to be expected since the GIMPAF.XML file identifies no SYSMOD
ownership of SMPPTFIN files.
I have no ORDERs available for experiment, however I'd expect
similar behavior for ORDERs.
