Re: Can SMPPTS datasets be consolidated?

Certainly the concatenation of SMPPTS libraries is recorded in the zone by DDDEF. My point was that the particular library that a PTF is located in at any given time is not 'recorded'. Whenever a PTF is needed, the PTS concatenation is searched for the member. If the DDDEF is changed, the new li

SMP/E does not keep a permanent record of which PTS holds a particular sysmod. On every query, the concatenated PTS libraries are searched. If the sysmod is found, the particular library is named, otherwise 'not found'. This allows you to freely manipulate the libraries and their content. Worst

You have an Assembler program, and once it has called and returned from one COBOL program, it goes on to call and return from other COBOL programs (or other invocations of the same program)? You'll want to look at start_seq and end_seq. --
