SOMPATCH
Operation
189
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.
work Shows all patches in the working buffer of an interactive session (that is, the material to be
saved by an EXIT command).
@ Provides information on all current patches to be displayed; that is, multiple writes to the
same symbol+offset aren’t shown. The last write is the only one shown.
srs Shows all SRs fixed by patches.
multi Shows all multi-SOM patches.
backouts Shows all backed-out patches.
history Shows all modifications made to the symbol specified. It is useful for checking the reworks
of a patch.
long Specifies the long format display. The default is short format, which is patch ID, user name,
SR number, and time applied. The long format gives this information, plus the old values,
new values, and any other information connected with the patch, such as the name of the
source file, the SR number connected with this patch, and the patch applier.
files Prints out names of all patch files applied and the time that they were applied.
symbol+/-offset Refer to the MODIFY or DISPLAY commands for an explanation of this parameter.
Error Messages
No query available--file not linked with ypatch.
CAUSE The SOMPATCH utility cannot show anything because the file was not linked with a buffer
area for history tracking. PATCHJCW is set to the WARN condition.
ACTION Link the ypatch.
