SYSMOD Comparison report, identifying SYSMODs in the input zone but not in the comparison zone. 2. SYSMOD Comparison HOLDDATA report, identifying the SYSTEM and USER HOLDs for the SYSMODs identified in the other report. These are the HOLDs you need to review and resolve when upgrading the comparison zone with the input zone.

Re: SMPE holddata comparing 2 different CSIs
Comparing the applied service makes sense; comparing the holddata does not. You should always receive the most current holddata. Chapter 16. The REPORT CROSSZONE command -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

SMPE holddata comparing 2 different CSIs
We have software at 2 different maintenance levels, with separate CSIs and zones. Is there a report I can run to compare the maintenance levels and get the holddata needed for the "higher level" maintenance? I hope my question makes sense. thanks Bill -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
