You can use CA Auditor to verify that SMP/E applied maintenance to program CSECTs. The Program Updates Selection Display (2.3.6) detects all program CSECTs that were changed through superzap. CA Auditor shows you both SMP/E‑maintained CSECTs and other CSECTs that were updated without the knowledge of SMP/E by finding the MOD entry in the CSI that corresponds to the CSECT being analyzed. If found, CA Auditor compares the IDR data records in the program to the UMID subentries in the MOD entry, and if they are the same, concludes that SMP/E updated this CSECT. If they are different, SMP/E is not aware of all the changes made to the program.
When SMP/E replaces a module, it clears the list of old UMIDs in the CSI and places a new RMID value in the entry. To install the module, SMP/E invokes the linkage editor that relinks the module. This clears and resets the CSECT’s IDR data records. Although CSECTs that were relinked do not have SYSMODs in their IDR data records, you can use the Program Freezer function (5.5) to find CSECTs that were replaced after an installation. You can also run the Program Statistics Display (5.2) against the library and compare its output against previous results. If a program’s link‑edit dates changed, modifications could be made to the program subsequent to its initial installation. Change control authorization records should substantiate any change to link‑edit dates.
