I never noticed SMPDATA2 before this thread. I write SMPDATA1 to sysout, so it would never spill anyway. I wish I could concurrently write the same data to both sysout (for archive purposes) AND to DASD for processing in a later step in the same job.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> Hi Skip, As I'm setting this up in my SMP/e environment (thank you!), I went ahead and looked at SMPDATA1 and SMPDATA2 in the SMP/e 3.5 Reference to check to be sure that SMPDATA2 was also available. I set both up so that I will have spill processing. Pretty cool.

The CHANGEFILE was added to SMP/E (quite) a while back to satisfy a user requirement for a machine readable record of the changes implemented during APPLY or RESTORE. The file is only minimally formatted because the requirement did not ask for an elaborate report; just data sufficiently keyworded that a user written Rexx, for example, could digest it and take whatever action the user deemed appropriate. To turn on CHANGEFILE via the SMP/E dialog, do this on the 'OPTIONS ENTRY xxxxxxxx - GENERAL' panel: CREATE LIBRARY ===> yes (YES or NO, default: NO) Create library CHANGE FILE change file during APPLY and RESTORE command processing. Provide a DD card or DDDEF for SMPDATA1. This file could be put to disk and used as input for a subseqent job step. . .

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> The "changefile" records I'm referring to live in SMPDATA1 / SMPDATA2. Specifically, it looks like the E0 element record might be what you're looking for. It identifies LMODs that were changed during APPLY processing, as well as the target DD name, which can be resolved to the target DSN with the L0 record. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r9/index.jsp? topic=/com.ibm.zos.r9.gim2000/lclcr.htm An Element Record Type 0 (E0) is created for each element or LMOD that changed in a target library during APPLY or RESTORE processing. The term changed in this context refers to an element or LMOD that been deleted or replaced in a target library as a result of SMP/E processing. See Valid action types for more information. The purpose of the E0 record is to identify the changed elements or LMODs in the associated target libraries identified by the L0 and L1 records. -Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
