We have a product (COBOL 4.2) in our SMP/E CSI with z/OS 1.13. We are about to upgrade to COBOL 5.1, which will delete the previous releases. I would like, as a fallback, to move all SMP/E information about the COBOL 4.2 FMIDs to a new CSI before installing 5.1. (I would also update the DDDEFs to point to separate libraries). I thought of using SMP/E UNLOAD to build the UCLIN that would then be fed into the new CSI, but that doesn't work with the GLOBAL zone, and doesn't include DDDEFs or LMOD entries. What is the proper process to accomplish this?
The SMP/E BUILDMCS command is your friend, to create a FUNCTION SYSMOD (for COBOL 4.2) with all the installed service integrated into the package. You then RECEIVE and APPLY this creation into your new and separate CSI. For the Global zone, check out the GZONEMERGE FORFMID command.
