It will not undo the changes that were done to his production HFS data sets. </snip> True, but HFS/ZFS data is not packaged the same as PTF. Every time I have looked, it seems that a complete replacement of the target is done. Rather than supplying a replacement for 1 file from a given directory, IBM replaces the entire directory, thus the apply redo will be successful and provide the intended result. I understand that he did not want to update his "production" HFS/ZFS's. At this point the "production" HFS/ZFS's are "damaged". The choices are: A) Restore to the prior level and redo the entire apply B) APPLY REDO the maint to the existing "damaged" HFS/ZFS and go forward. Either method will provide at the end of the process "undamaged" (logically consistent) HFS/ZFS's. The choice is, of course, the OP's.
