Steve, I list all the FMID'S defined in the GLOBAL.CSI and keep the listing handy since it is referenced quite frequently. //S1 EXEC PGM=GIMSMP //SMPCSI DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SMPE.GLOBAL.CSI //SMPCNTL DD * SET BOUNDARY (GLOBAL) . LIST GZONE .
Then I manually compare the PTF FMID with the listing to see if it matches any FMID in my SMPE global. gabe -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Comstock Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 10:48 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Need more PTF guidance On a hunch, I went to the IBM tech support site (https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/zseries.srchBroker) where I found 2 PTF's that addressed my problem with PL/I and HFS. But both PTF pages have this: Applicable component levels R703 PSY UQ91928 UP04/08/19 P F408 R705 PSY UQ91929 UP04/08/19 P F408 R706 PSY UQ91930 UP04/08/19 P F408 R707 PSY UQ91931 UP04/08/19 P F408 R708 PSY UQ91932 UP04/08/19 P F408 Select the PTF appropriate for your component level. So, how do I select the applicable component level? I guessed and tried the last, didn't work; then I tried the R705 because I see I have HLE7705 FMID (I don't even know if that's the right FMID for PL/I, but my colleague seemed to think it is). Anyway, the un-terse goes OK, but the receive fails because there is no match of sysmods. Arrrggggh! I'm just shooting mostly in the dark anyway, so I come again asking for some guidance: how can I find the correct FMID and component level so I know what PTF to download?
