Where is the JCL to list the USERMODS and the JCL to apply the previous USERMODS?

Resolution

First, the usermods applied for the current Common Services release must be identified. 

It is possible that some of them are sourced and integrated in Common Services 15.0.

Here is the JCL to list the usermods: 

   SET BOUNDARY(TARGET1)  .
   LIST USERMODS  .

When you issue these commands, SMP/E lists all eligible USERMODs into target zone TARGET1.

Here is the JCL to apply user modifications (USERMODs) into the target libraries. 
You can accomplish this with the following commands:

   SET      BDY(TARGET1)  .
   APPLY    USERMODS    .

When you issue these commands, SMP/E applies all eligible USERMODs into target zone TARGET1.
