>Thanks Jim. I figured that was the answer, but wasn't sure based on reading >the APAR and my lack of knowledge in this area and knowing that LE fixes >are generally just "run time". >I know you don't do LE, but under "RECOMMENDATION:" in the APAR it >should say something like: "Install the PTF for APAR PK76106 and relink >the application.". Actually, I found the text of the Beta flash rather confusing, so I called someone in Beta (not the hotline) and was told: 1. Beta Systems found it very hard to get IBM to acknowledge that the bug was in that EDCXSTRT lmod. :-) 2. As Jim already indicated, they need to relink their applications with that lmod to pick up the fix and distribute that. (As an aside, let's hope they catch all of them - I had a case where they didn't know where they used a csect, to the effect that I hit the same bug in three different areas, one after the other. Got five fixes in all. In another case they gave me a ptf for a product based on another ptf in the BSA which of course did not have any SMP/E dependency.) Also, I was told that the first fixes (for BSA and Beta92) will be available at the beginning of next week. Check their website/hotline. 3. Beta Systems said that they have been using C (or C+ or C++ or something) for *years* *without* the need for LE. And I thought *that* was only available as MetalC starting with 1.10.
