Small SMP utility for USS (was "Include FMID, PTFID and APARID as eye catcher in each LMOD")

I've written a little Unix command that uses the SMP/E query API to dig information out of the CSI. The output is not especially human-friendly; it's intended for processing by scripts. You can get it from github: https://github.com/zorts/smpapi

We clone the SMP/E Target Zone as well. Makes it easy to know what maintenance is on the IPL volume in question. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the

Re: Include FMID, PTFID and APARID as eye catcher in each LMOD

I am the one who rejected this requirement. While I certainly don't want to paint us as unresponsive to client wishes, and as much as I can appreciate the wish that every module had an eye-catcher, I am afraid that in this case an infinite number of votes seem unlikely to change the answer.

Re: Include FMID, PTFID and APARID as eye catcher in each LMOD

Karl, I can appreciate the desire for this; however there are other techniques currently at your disposal to be able to manage this. What it really comes down to is your method of migrating maintenance to your systems. In our environment, when we clone the SYSRES volume(s) to whichever

Re: Include FMID, PTFID and APARID as eye catcher in each LMOD

In quite a few circumstances, developers might only have the APAR number when building the fix (PTF numbers come later in the process). I would suggest that FMID+APAR would suffice. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of

Re: Include FMID, PTFID and APARID as eye catcher in each LMOD

I think it would be a better idea to have FMID, PTFID, and APARID as an eye catcher in each csect in each load module. On 10/16/2017 6:02 AM, Karlheinz wrote: Hi, we have opened a RFE at IBM for having related FMID, PTFID and APARID as an eye catcher in each load module being generated and

Include FMID, PTFID and APARID as eye catcher in each LMOD

Hi, we have opened a RFE at IBM for having related FMID, PTFID and APARID as an eye catcher in each load module being generated and maintained via SMP/E. This would help to detect easily the maintenance level of a particular module and load module. Although the information is available in
