Wow, what a long thread about what I think is a relatively minor issue. IBM does not provide all that nice and detailed HOLDDATA for it to be ignored. Of course, I would have to assume that there may be many sysprogs out there who use SMP/E in "cookbook" fashion rather than really understanding what they're using. The "ACCEPT/RESTORE" commands as a case in point if I go by past posts having to do with it.
I would also have to assume that "integrity" APARs slip in all the time, but unnoticed, if they require no action by the user. I think this one is a very useful improvement to SMP/E functionality irregardless of the "integrity" issue IBM is concerned with - what's the big deal?
