Function
The REQUEST-CORRECTION-DELIVERY statement enables you to request new correction versions for a supply unit registered in the SCI. The scope of the request is defined using the DELIVERY-SCOPE operand.
Delta delivery with only the modified release items of the supply unit (default)
Correction delivery for the entire supply unit
Only information on the available corrections
Using the parameter file for mail configuration (see "Parameter file for mail configuration ") and the user input, IMON creates a correction request (with the file name $TSOS.IMON.DELREQ.<timestamp>) that is sent by mail to the software distribution center of Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

In the following situations the statement is rejected, no action is taken, and an error message is output.
The value *BY-DIALOG was specified in batch mode.
The SCI does not contain all the specified supply units.
There are duplicate supply units in the input list, i.e. units with the same values or key words for one of the identification parameters.
There is no parameter file for mail configuration for the specified customer ID (see page 473 (Parameter file for mail configuration )) or the parameter file is not complete.
