<SNIP> OK, to recap again, the sequence numbers are used for: 1. IEBUDTE, which is used by SMP/E 2. editor 3. punched card sorter. Anything else ? <SNIP> Certain IBM products are supplied as source (for one example, again CPCS/CPCS-II) and depend on the SN outside of SMP/E. Granted, maint or mods are applied by IEBUDTE, but they may also be applied by SORT (I know of one place that does it that way, and drops the duplicates). Just to be sure, the users (applications programmers) do NOT do their maint via USERMOD (SMP/E). I have seen products (do not know if they still exist) that used the COBOL S/N instead of the STD S/N in 73-80 (these were NON-IBM systems as well). Just wanted to be sure that you caught the difference from the "typical" SMP/E situation -- IEBUPDTE may be used outside of it.
