Let me give more background. My role is management of this activity and I do not receive, apply, etc. We need to change our maint philosophy on how we handle HIPERS. IE: We build z/OS 1.8 on a test system with a July ESO but do not go production to October. I want to find out about HIPERS from July-September. They would be evaluated to make sure nothing hot is missing. We would then selectively apply HIPERS that are applicable. That's my idea right now.....
Are you saying that if my MVS guy received 90-days of enhanced holddata, we could look it over and selectively apply what is needed or would all 90-days worth of this maint go on? What would you (or others) do with my example scenario......? Also, going forward from October, how would you handle HIPERS that come out. Thanks.

You don't need to read any of it, just receive it into your SMPE GLOBAL CSI. As you can see in the header, it is as current as the previous day. Make sure there are no gaps in holddata received. In your example, the file covers only the last month. You can retrieve holddata that covers the last two years. Your report will show you what applies to YOUR system at its current state. There is no need to develop complex queries and try to understand which piece of maintenance you found applies to you. Everything in the report applies to your system, and it is current. Ed, if you really have nothing better to do than look every half hour for additional HIPER maintenance, you really need a life :) Yesterday is current enough for me.
