CA has offered Internet Service Retrieval (RECEIVE ORDER) since January 2018. https://support.ca.com/us/product-content/status/announcement-documents/2018/ca-smp-e-receive-order---maintenance-delivery-made-easy.html I believe that at least one other ISV offers RECEIVE ORDER, but do not want name the wrong one.
The most recent MVS Packaging Rules that I know of is for SMP/E 3.5. It does have rules to build your function sysmods that would apply to any delivery vehicle. There is also some documentation that applies to service sysmods as well, for example if you are creating a new load module or adding a module to an existing load module.

The chapter on GIMZIP in the SMP/E Ref. describes packaging for RECEIVE FROMNETWORK/FROMNTS. AFAIK, IBM has never supported ISV packaging for RECEIVE ORDER. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
