That is not true for all SMP/E commands. LIST for example, or the REPORT commands, and the ISPF Query dialog, definitely open the SMPCSI data sets in READ mode. But if you're complaining about APPLY CHECK, then yes, APPLY CHECK does open the SMPCSI data sets for UPDATE. Kurt Quackenbush IBM | z/OS SMP/E and z/OSMF Software Management | ku...@us.ibm.com Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
