>Howard did specify GROUPEXTEND, which should automatically APPLY >needed corrective maintenance. No; it will only automatically apply needed maintenance that is in the PTS. It is quite common for hold data to add an error hold for which the fix is not available, or for which the shop did not yet RECEIVE the fix. The proper resolution is to download and RECEIVE the corrective service and its prerequisites, then retry the APPLY CHECK. >In Howard's text, I see: That's where I got the APAR number from. >is it possible "AQ64238" is a typo for "PQ64238"? Unlikely. The confusion has been discussed to death here multiple times. IMHO, IBM needs to do a better job of documenting it. One number is used for tracking the APAR status, the other is used for packaging fixes into a PTF. You might have a PTF for a different FMID that superceded a different APAR number, with the last five characters the same. >Item PQ64238 > APAR Identifier ......

As always, he should RECEIVE the latest HOLDDATA before doing an APPLY. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, SysProg and JOAT ISO position; see <http://patriot.net/~shmuel/resume/brief.html> We don't care.
