I read: Coexistence considerations SMP/E for z/OS User's Guide SA23-2277-00 SMP/E releases before V3R5 cannot process the MCS input that is developed specifically for V3R5, nor can they process data in the SMPCSI data set. In SMP/E V3R4, if your SOURCEID value meets either of the following conditions, a message is shown to indicate that your operand contains a value that cannot be processed by the current release of SMP/E: Your SOURCEID value is 9 to 64 characters in length. Your SOURCEID value contains a character other than uppercase alphabetic (A-Z), numeric (0-9), or national (@,#,$). Is the message mentioned GIM58903W? If not, which? (I can't find doc for SMP/E 3.4.) Was toleration for long SOURCEIDs introduced by APAR for earlier than SMP/E 3.5? Which APAR? Or does the above apply only when SMP/E 3.4 attempts to process a long SOURCEID in a CSI that needs upgrade? How far back, chronologically and in z/OS release, do support and/or toleration for long SOURCEIDs extend? (BTW, I was told here lately that there's no limit on number of SOURCEIDs for a SYSMOD. But apparently too many can cause operational difficulties: GIM25903E SMP/E COULD NOT ADD ++ASSIGN SOURCEID sourceid TO SYSMOD ENTRY sysmod BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS IN THE ENTRY EXCEEDED THE CURRENT PEMAX VALUE. ... Programmer response: Do the following: Increase the PEMAX value in the OPTIONS entry being used. Run UCLIN against the global zone SYSMOD entry to add the SOURCEID value. I.e. apparently there's a workaround. Probably not a practical concern.)
