Thank you Tony, pity you did not specify on what you were betting because you won ! The COMPAT(SYSLIST) option was the culprit. It comes very probably from our default HLASM options on site, probably for historical reasons, I doubt it is still needed today, but you never know for sure. I added NOCOMPAT to our SMP/E ASM options, and the PTF got applied without a problem. We were indeed doing something weird ...
