Not unless all the PTFs have already been received. Consider the case where you have PTF A applied. PTF B prereqs PTF A. PTF C prereqs PTF B. PTF C reqs PTF D. PTF E prereqs PTF C. You have PTF E in your global zone, but neither B, C, nor D. Your APPLY CHECK will tell you that you need PTF C, but since you don't have PTF C, SMP has no way to determine that PTFs B and D are also required. However, from a list of the PTFs in your target and global zones, the vendor has enough information to determine all of the PTFs that are needed. HOLDDATA doesn't help either. Enhanced holddata does not contain PRE, REQ, or SUP information. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
