Thanks Kurt. At least I know that holddata is current. Some more questions about PUTs & RSUs.
- When exactly IBM releases the monthly RSU? beginning of next month? - I noticed that some PTFs such as security related have NVD like severity (Bx.y) What is A in Symptoms? - IBM plans to drop PUT files for RSUs. When will this happen?
