Phil suspected problems with instream SYMBOLS-. I envision a couple.

Of course not. Why would you say that? I just meant that he was explicit about

An installation can use the IBM-supplied IEEMBS46 or create its own module
in SYS1.LlNKLIB. The SMFTSOCM member of SYS1.SAMPLIB is provided so that
the user can add or delete commands for the installation. The SMFTSOCM

Yes, it is knowledge in *current* documentation.
TS1170 is *very fresh* topic. Almost no IBM source mention it.
Even official PDF leaflet links to details on a page which not yet exists.
However I'm pretty sure the TS1170 will be supported by VTS.
BTW: few years ago Fujifilm and IBM informed

Absolutely! Go to this page and find the "Try it" tab. There you'll find

Linux (nor Unix) does NOT have any maint systems. P in RPM stands for Package
which is the z/OS equivalent of product /
Tthere isn't really any direct equivalence between RPM and SMP/E
concepts of maintenance.
Since a large Linux application (like LibreOffice) may be packaged as
several interdependent packages, in that sense a package is similar to
an FMID of a z/OS product; but the number of pieces/files

I can imagine several ways to pronounce it, but none involve an R or a fourth

What does that refer to? Are you saying that you want to be able to use a
symbol in DDDEF and have it resolved dynamically each time SMP looks up the
ddname in subsequent jobs?

The // SET XYZZY= statement addresses your 27 places issue. Are you asking for
a symbol in the CSI itself rather than in the job?
