Basically, the idea of APPLY is to build the LMOD with everything that's been ACCEPTed or previously APPLYed to it. :>SMP/E has enough information to reconstruct it from scratch if needed, but will save itself the work of rebuilding the LMOD from the MODs if it doesn't have to do it. :>> You mention that the MODs are applied from PTFs; I assume that APARs are also reapplied if not SUPd (which they would be required to be if the PTF you're working with would clobber them). :>Yes, FUNCTIONs, PTFs, APARs, USERMODs, whatever SYSMOD last replaced a MOD (the MOD's RMID) can be used to obtain a usable copy of that MOD from the SMPPTS. :>> Does the same processing apply to RESTORE? Or does it always build from scratch? :>RESTORE does behave the same as APPLY in this respect. RESTORE no longer requires that other maintenance to the involved elements be ACCEPTed? It can rebuild the load modules using APPLYed-only elements? -- Binyamin Dissen <[email protected]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
