When HOLDDATA are issued, such as:
++ HOLD( pepatch ) ERROR REASON( resolve ) ...
and the hold is first resolved by an APAR fix, does the
SYSMOD ID of the APAR match the REASON ID:
++ APAR( resolve ) ...
or SUPersede it:
++ APAR( interim) SUP( resolve ) ...
Either is syntactically acceptable to SMP/E, but which is IBM's
convention?
The former; ++APAR name matches the reason-id on the ++HOLD.
Of course, the final PTF will be one of:
++ PTF( stable ) SUP( resolve ) ...
++ PTF( stable ) SUP( interim, resolve ) ...
And if a PE affects multiple releases of a product, will a single
REASON ID be used for all releases, or will REASON be peculiar
to each release?
The reason-id on the ++HOLD is NOT release specific.
