Or am I misunderstanding it even more basically, and my example will work, but with FILES(1)? In other words, does the file count specifically exclude the JCLIN? Or does it only exclude the JCLIN when the JCLIN is inline as opposed to coming from a RELFILE?
Sorry for the basic questions.

I should have mentioned that we have customers run a separate link job anyway after the RECEIVE/APPLY/ACCEPT. I think we'd just have to ask them to rerun this external link job. This was sounding simple, since I thought we could do something like this: ++PTF(xxxxxx) FILES(0) .... ++VER (Z038) FMID(xxxxxxxx) ++JCLIN RELFILE(1) But is FILES(0) even acceptable if one ONLY wants to change the JCLIN? Apparently NOT, according to the reference guide at least (1-9999). It sounds like I do have to include something else - even if it's not an object module. Dang.

If you update the JCLIN without providing any elements, SMP/E does not relink the module at that time, but it does update the definition for the next time the load module does need to be relinked. This information is available in the SMP/E Reference Guide under ++JCLIN.

Can someone assist with identifying the steps we'd follow to accomplish this, please? I know what changes I want to make to the binder control cards, but I am not versed in SMP/E (obviously). I believe we'd just need to update the JCLIN and get them to RECEIVE/APPLY/ACCEPT the resultant PTF, but I am unclear on the details. Thanks!
