To move any definition downward in the path, the MODS : Definition Utilities must be used and the source and destination files specifically named.
These utilities also provide a means of viewing the contents of files in isolation. That is, they do not present a merged view, but list only those components that are actually contained in the named file.
Two major benefits flow from control file concatenation:
The ability to give multiple groups of users of the same application different views of that application. A view in this context constitutes both presentation and behavioral differences. Views can be used to implement significant usage differences, such as TEST and PRODUCTION.
Library concatenation greatly eases maintenance difficulties and facilitates better change control with inbuilt backout capability. It also lets you manage changes to distributed applications.
