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.

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. >Whereas, the SMPMCS and >RELFILES would have the original code shipped with the functions and PTFs. The SMPMCS and RELFILES are only used during RECEIVE processing. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
