Why does it matter whether each is in a unique dataset? If FMIDs are selected from an alphabetical list and dropped into a common MCS during build, wouldn't this problem still manifest? With IBM products its usually Hccnnnn for base and Jccnnnn for dependent, so GIMPAF order will be alpha order. Apparently not everyone follows that convention. Why does order matter? Is it because the FMID list in the GZONE entry is not updated until RECEIVE processing for that SYSMOD is complete, only after which it moves on to the next? Just curious and trying to contrast with ASSIGN statements in RECEIVE processing where order is unimportant.
