I think it would be a better idea to have FMID, PTFID, and APARID as an
eye catcher in each csect in each load module.

Hi,
we have opened a RFE at IBM for having related FMID, PTFID and APARID as an eye
catcher in each load module being generated and maintained via SMP/E.
This would help to detect easily the maintenance level of a particular module
and load module.
Although the information is available in SMP/E (which PTF is applied), SMP/E
doesn't tell in which system a particular LMOD is used. This depends on the
deployment concept after SMP/E apply and the administration information where
particular maintenance levels are deployed.
We think this is a long outstanding requirement from each systems programmer
side to always be able to see at which maintenance level a particular module or
load module is.
It would support customer and vendor side in case of an incident.
Various teams in IBM and at other vendor side are already incorporating this
information during their maintenance packaging process. Unfortunately not all.
It would be great to have this setup as a standard.
This is the link to the IBM RFE:

If you support the implementation of this eye catcher information please vote.
