Step 4. Receive the base code, cumulative maintenance, and HOLDDATA

This step receives the base code and cumulative maintenance from the SMP/E files into the SMPPTS and SMPTLIBs. The installation facility has created the $04RECV job, which performs these processes. In addition, the job requests an SMP/E LIST HOLDDATA.

Important

Make sure to run $04RECV in a job class suitable for long-running batch jobs.

  1. Review $04RECV for any necessary changes.
  2. Submit the job to start the receive process. The JCL generated by the installation facility includes a step that will RECEIVE maintenance PTFs and LIST HOLDDATA. If the PTF and/or HOLDDATA files are empty or contain dummy entries, a return code of 4 can be expected.
  3. Review the job output.
