Drive GIMAPI (the SMP query API) from the USS command line. The output is vertical-bar delimited, intended for consumption by scripts.

The documentation on this interface is in SMP/E for z/OS Reference. The most useful parts are:

• Filter parameter syntax
• Valid entry types
• Valid subentry types
• Example of QUERY command

Some sample commands

• What are all the target and dlib zones?

smp -e targetzone,dlibzone -s srel

• What are all the SYSMODs APPLYed to an FMID?

smp -z targa -f "fmid='HDL1202'&apply='YES'" -e SYSMOD -s ename

• In what zones is a SYSMOD APPLYed?

./smp -e sysmod -s apply -f "ENAME='UI40054'"

• To get a summary of an LMOD:

./smp -z targb -e lmod -f  "ENAME='CELHV003'"

• To find out what sysmod last updated the MODs in an LMOD:

   ./smp -z targb -s lastupd -e mod -f  "LMOD='CELHV003'"

• To find out what LMODs contain a MOD:

   ./smp -z targb -e mod -s lmod -f "ENAME='CELHABND'"
