SOMPATCH
Operation
SAVE
Use this command to save the modifications made to the primary input file without exiting
the program.
The section entitled "Input Files" in the "Overview" section in this chapter explains how to
recover from a system malfunction in the middle of a SAVE command.
Syntax
SA[VE]
Parameters
None
SHOW
Function
This command shows information about any patches that have been applied to the input
file.
If only SHOW is typed, the most recent patch applied is displayed.
In pre-releases of MPE XL, the installation procedures may not clearly define the proper
use of the CLKUTIL utility. In this case, the system clock may not be correctly set, and the
time of patch shown may be the Greenwich Mean Time, rather than the local time.

Parameters
since Specifies a sort backwards by date of the modifications made to the file.
datespec Specifies the AFTER window to view patch modifications. (The BEFORE
window is always the current day). Enter a 1 to 6 digit integer in the form
ddmmyy , where either or both mm and yy default to current. If no
datespec is given at all, the current day is assumed. (Month starts with
January = 01.)
yesterday A quick way to show all patches since yesterday.
patchid The string (usually a number) given as the first parameter to the LOG
command. The SOMPATCH utility searches its patches to see if that patch
has been applied.
