apply for
each JES2 level.
It still feels like laying a trap for the next person who comes along
who is unaware of the process.
What I would be inclined to do is clone the SMP/E zones and keep a
separate set of datasets for each JES2 level. Than it is much clearer
what is going on and exactly what is installed in each dataset. DASD is
cheaper than time sent scratching my head (or an outage caused by an
incorrect JES2 macro level).
I have always worked on the principle that the SMP/E zones should
reflect exactly what is installed in the target and distribution
libraries. If you assemble with a different SYSLIB it breaks that principle.
But, I admit, it is a long time since I have maintained a real system
with SMP/E.
