Did you request pre-req maint? (the prior 90 days worth of pre-reqs will be included with the order). This is a check-off box when you specify the PTFs requested.

I remember a day (years ago), I'd order a PTF and get 10 maybe 20 requisite PTF's not anymore, so am I not selecting all the correct options?

Since it is a PDSE dataset it will always have an active connection and so will not be able to perform automatic compression. Thus it will get full. The same Production Control group would be responsible for promotion of Production JCL, and therefore can AUDIT such JCl for valid JOBLIB/STEPLIB specifications. Therefore the AUDITORs recommendations regarding misuse of STEPLIB must be considered unfounded. Promotion of JCL containing "bad" STEPLIB datasets, or promotion of "bad" program modules, follows the same Production Control validation/auditing processes, and would therefore be just as susceptible to misuse no matter which process was followed. Use of JCL check products can assist validation of STEPLIB dataset specifications. The Auditor's basically "cried wolf".
