Not true.  There used to be SYMUPDTE that was documented in the
additional material section for book SG24-5451:
Parallel Sysplex - Managing Software for Availability 
ftp://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG245451/

**See the Redbook for cautions / caveats when using the program!

But since z/OS 1.6 there is IBM distributed object deck in 
SYS1.SAMPLIB(IEASYMUP).

We link it as a usermod into SYS1.LINKLIB.   Although, I've never used
it except on my sandbox LPARs.

I don't recall if IEASYMUP is documented anywhere other than the 
SYMUPDTE documentation from the Redbook.
