It never hurts to open a requirement. McKown, John wrote:
Just me going weird again<grin>. When SMP/E does a APPLY of a PTF which has a co-req of another PTF, it usually forces the second PTF to be APPLY'd as well. This happens in this case too. The "problem" is that the APPLY of the IPLTEXT only updates the SAMPLIB and leaves the actual installation to the user in a separate job. Why can't SMP/E do the ICKDSF PUTIPL command as well? It should know the volser to update - it is the one containing the updated SYS1.NUCLEUS. And a RESTORE would again do the PUTIPL function of ICKDSF.
