SLIB changes

To change an SLIB, code the changes to your SLIB source.

Before you compile the SLIB, you should use JCL Generation to test the changes by using ISPF standard file tailoring. Testing the changes ensures that the SLIB is coded correctly and that no ISPF-related errors exist.

You must recompile an SLIB each time that you change its source. Sample JCL for the SLIB compiler is in member AJXCOMPS in the HLQ.BMCCNTL data set that BMC provides at installation. To customize the JCL to your shop’s standards, follow the directions provided in this member.

Warning

BMC uses SMP/E to package and deliver the SLIB members. If you must make a change to an SLIB, consider copying the SLIB member or members to be changed into a separate library. You can then make your changes to the SLIB members in that library without the risk of applying SMP/E maintenance that overlays your changes. Note that PTFs or GA releases that BMC distributes might change the SLIB source. You will need to determine whether the SLIB source was changed. If the SLIB source was changed, you will need to copy the new version of the SLIB source to your separate library, and reapply any changes that you made.
