I agree with Dave completely. I do similar - on both APPLY CHECK and APPLY.
Why spend an inordinate amount of time telling SMP/E manually to do what SMP/E
is designed to do automatically. Let it skip the open APARs and other things
that will cause a "bad" return code. Like Dave said, just verify that the
things that caused the RC=8 are OK. The CAUSER report is your friend here.

I do not attempt to get a RC0 or RC4 apply. What goes on goes on. Obviously
review results to make sure that there wasn't an issue, but coding up a bunch
of excludes to not select those with holderror just to get a RC0 is not
necessary in my opinion.
Here is one apply example
APPLY CHECK
SOURCEID (
SYSPLXDS
XSYSTEM
HIPER
IBM.*
RSU*
SECINT
)
GROUPEXTEND
(
NOAPARS
NOUSERMODS
)
BYPASS ( HOLDSYSTEM)
NOJCLINREPORT
RETRY ( YES )
.

Subject: SMP/e maintenance methodologies
**CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL**

Hello everyone,
I am looking for SMP/e methodologies about a couple of situations within SMP/e.
Just looking for how people do SMP/e maintenance in certain situations.
1) What methodology is employed to get to a clean Apply Check, when you
outstanding Error Holds? APARs without PTFs, local fix or work arounds?
2) For Apply check, what PARMs do you use? Select, FixCat, Bypass, etc?
I was taught a SMP/e methodology, many years ago, but just wondering if there
might be a better way.
Thanks,
Jerry Edgington
