Before submitting the USERMOD jobs, perform the following steps:
Verify that a backup of the LOAD library exists.
Make all necessary updates to the USERMOD, as follows:
Update the JCLIN (link-edit input statements) if required.
Update the source exit name in the SMP/E ++SRC statement, if necessary.
Update the library and member names of the source exit in the IOA SAMPEXIT library on the unnamed DD statement following the ++SRC statement.
Submit the job. It performs SMP/E RECEIVE and APPLY commands, selecting the SMP/E USERMOD just created. Never run ACCEPT on USERMODs.
When applying a PTF that installs an exit that was already locally installed, the APPLY fails with the message
GIM38201E - THERE IS A MODID ERROR FOR SAMP ENTRY sample-name IN SYSMOD ptf-name.
To bypass this error add the BYPASS(ID) operand to the APPLY. It is important that you make sure that this is the only failure in that APPLY before using that BYPASS operand.
