Based on my reading of the manuals, it will not be automatically selected for APPLY.
"To reapply a SYSMOD, you must specify it in the SELECT operand and include the REDO operand on the APPLY command." "REWORK allows an updated SYSMOD to be automatically received again, as long as it is more recent than the version that has already been received. This takes the place of rejecting the SYSMOD and receiving it again." But you already knew that. I am not aware of any LIST or REPORT that will help identify such differences. You would have to roll your own. But I also think this is a good idea and worthy of a requirement request.

Then I rework it with a higher REWORK operand. RECEIVE witn no SELECT operand will automatically RECEIVE it if it appears in SMPPTFIN because of the higher REWORK. But will APPLY or ACCEPT with no SELECT likewise select it automatically? I suspect not; barring that, is there any LIST or REPORT command that will identify PTFs in the TARGET and DLIB zones whose REWORK doesn't match that in the GLOBAL? (Wishlist item: SHA-1 checksums in the zones to verify that the PTFs APPLYed and ACCEPTed match those RECEIVED.) My personal choice would be to eschew REWORK and issue a SUPerseding PTF with a unique sysmod ID, but I may be overruled by management. *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
