PTF's require HDS microcode, which is not avai:
What is really needed is a ++HOLD ACTION or ++HOLD EC with text stating
that "Vendor-A microcode level xxx is required for compatability with PTF
UZ11111". However, ++HOLD ACTION / ++HOLD EC text must be included in the
original PTF - they cannot be added later. At the time the PTF was
created, it was not known that there was a dependency between the PTF and
Vendor-A's DASD microcode.
Adding the ++HOLD to the cumulative Extended Hold database would
solve the issue of it not being in the PTF itself. In addition, the
copy of the PTF that is retrievable via IBMLINK (as well as the copy
that is used to create PTF cumulative service tapes) can have the
++HOLD added to the PTF so that copies sent to customers AFTER the
problem is discovered will contain the info (and not need to rely on
the user getting current the Extended Hold file [although this SHOULD
be pulled/read-into-SMTP just prior to any APPLY/ACCEPT for safety
sake]).
