SMP/E for z/OS IBM User's Guide SA23-2277-30
... appears to say otherwise:
The consolidated software inventory (CSI)
The CSI data sets contain all the information SMP/E needs to
track the distribution and target libraries. As the card catalog
contains a card for each book in the library, the CSI contains
an entry for each element in its libraries. The CSI entries
contain the element name, type, history, how the element was
introduced into the system, and a pointer to the element in the
distribution and target libraries.*The*CSI*does*not*contain*the
*element*itself*, but rather a description of the element it
represents
[emphasis added]
This seems to use "CSI" to refer to the VSAM data sets, but not to PDSes that
contain actual elements.
