Hi Tom,

Thanks for correcting my terminology.  I wasn't confusing SMPTLIBs and target 
libraries.  I was confusing SMPTLIBs and RELFILEs.  I had it in my head that 
the RELFILEs were the critters created by the RECEIVE and subsequently used by 
the APPY and ACCEPT, rather than your correct thinking that RELFILEs populate 
the SMPTLIBs at RECEIVE.  I was using TLIBs as an abbreviation for TargetLIBs, 
as in the TLIB=target, DLIB=distribution sense.   I now know, bad form due to 
SMPTLIBs.  

I stand corrected, due to my bad use of abbreviations.

The SMPTLIBs are used in ACCEPT processing (as well as APPLY).  The 
distribution libraries are populated/updated from the SMPTLIBs, not the target 
libraries.

Thanks for the correction.

Rex

Are you confusing SMPTLIBs with Target libraries? TLIB refers to SMPTLIB data 
sets.
APPLY never updates SMPTLIB data sets.
It reads them when applying the SYSMOD that is packaged in RELFILE format is 
applied or when accepting such a SYSMOD.

The SMPMCS and RELFILES are only used during RECEIVE processing.
