SOMPATCH
Operation
180
When using a patch file, specify a list file, so that if the JCW is FATAL after the SOMPATCH utility executes,
the list file can be examined to determine the problem.
In the following examples, the patch file is pat0511 and the list file is lpat0511.
sompatch "nl.abuild00.official <pat0511 >lpat0511"
OR
sompatch "nl.abuild00.official,use:pat0511,list:lpat0511"
Interactive patching
Normally, the LOG command is used with all of the required parameters specified, just as in the example
above; however, the SOMPATCH utility also provides user prompting for the log command.

This command describes the reason that a patch is being applied. It indicates problem symptoms and a fix
description. A minimum of one line of comment text is required for each set of modify instructions composing
a patch. You should describe the symptoms of the problem in detail, with an explanation when you anticipate
a fix in source.
