Thanks Al, I'm trying to find where I can find CAUNZIP that's described in
Carmen's link.
From your procedure, I see that I can use jar -xf to unzip and the rest of your
steps are great, thank you.
It is incredibly annoying that there's a limit of putting 100 fixes into the
cart... for what reason ?!
Downloading in bulk makes this very, very frustrating.
I've never been this worked up before.. trying to get some bloody fixes in.
I feel like CSM is just a 'push the problem under the carpet' kind of solution.
Wonder why it's hard to have two or more consistent methods of
product/maintenance retrieval.
Have faced the dangling blank space or irregular .txt when working with IBM
maintenance too (via SRD), but since I've never had to deal with fixes in bulk
via SRD, it has been bearable.

Subject: Fwd: [EXTERNAL] Fixes from CA
Vignesh,
CA has always been a bit different. Here is my solution (2 JOBs). I am assuming
you have an OMVS Segment and a USS Home Directory.
- Start by ordering all the maintenance in 1 bundle (up to 100 fixes,
do multiple if you need more the 100 fixes).
- Then download the scart0.zip file (rename if you have multiples).
- Create a “$HOME/CA” directory in USS ($HOME should be your HOME
directory)
- Upload the scart0.zip files as binary to the $HOME/CA directory
- Remove STEP0200 from @10FTPCA.txt (the ftp from CA’s site, as you are
not connected & the above step did this)
- STEP0100 will do some directory prep work
- STEP0300 will
- UNZIP all the scart0.zip files (if more then one)
- put the PTFs & HOLD data in different directories (created by
STEP0100)
- create some template JCL to include in @11SMPRE.txt
- Run @10FTOCA.txt
- Update the CSI, RFPREFIX, and FMIDs for your shop & Product being
installed.
- View @11SMPRE.txt and do the 2 “COPY ‘~/CA/cntl/SMP*.txt’” ISPF Copy
commands,
(use the “a” line command on the appropriate DD statement)
- Move the DD statement over the first line of the newly copied output
You should be ready to go. You will note that:
- as we are dealing with the USS Filesystem, the initial transfer only
is concerned with it being binary; you do not need to be concerned with MVS
file attributes.
- the bash script in STEP0300 of @10FTPCA.txt makes sure the DCB
information is correct for the SMP/E Receive
