Yes you can step lib an uplevel SMPE,I have just done that.
The only problem I had was when I tried to install a new DFSMS/MVS. It
tried to compress the lib where it was installing. This of course did not
work. Had to drop the steplib. Just for the DFSMS/MVS part of the install.

If the STEPLIB dataset had been a COPY of the target library, instead of
the actual target library, you would not have had that problem. SMP/E is
arguably a production program and deserves to be run from a static
library with appropriate change control procedures. Doesn't it?
