Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation
Cause
Customer wanted to replace the entire JCLMSG member and not update records within the existing member.
Resolution
To replace the entire copy of JCLMSG use SMP/E command ++SRC.
++USERMOD(MZ2C023) /* IDENTIFY USERMOD */.
++VER(Z038) FMID(CAZ2C00) /* PRE(xxxxxxx) */ .
++SRC (JCLMSG) DISTLIB(AAZ2SRC).

Additional Information
The ++SRC statement in an SMP/E SYSMOD (System Modification) is used to introduce entirely new source code into a system or to replace existing source code. When SMP/E processes a SYSMOD containing a ++SRC statement, it creates or updates a SRC entry in the distribution and target zones, which describes the source code and its location.
The ++SRCUPD describes a single set of source update statements within a PTF, an APAR fix, or a USERMOD. It must immediately precede the source update statements within the SYSMOD.
The REWORK operand is used on header MCS statements like ++PTF, ++FUNCTION, ++APAR, or ++USERMOD within a SYSMOD. It indicates that the SYSMOD has been "reworked" by the software vendor (typically IBM) for minor changes, such as corrections or enhancements that do not warrant a new functional level. When SMP/E encounters a SYSMOD with the REWORK operand, and the REWORK level is higher than the previously installed version of the SYSMOD, it allows for automatic re-reception of the SYSMOD, even if it had been successfully received before. This facilitates the application of minor updates without requiring manual rejection and re-reception of the SYSMOD.
