Use the VMFINS command for RSU files. VMFREC is for corrective service envelopes. vmfins install info (nomemo env RLST5794
________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Schuh, Richard Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 1:21 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: z/VM 5.3 vs. RSU I have done a DDR restore of the 5.3 system and am in the throes of applying the current RSU. To this end, I have FTPd the files from IBM to my VM system with the following results: 1. There were three files * A small file containing the byte counts for the other two files * A file named RLST5794 BIN * A file named RPTF1094 BIN 2. The byte counts for the two BIN files were correct. 3. I used DETERSE to unpack the files, making the unpacked files filetype SERVLINK When I enter the command "vmfrec info (env rlst5794", the result is the message DMSWPD1452S. Help describes this error as: Explanation: A record was encountered in the envelope file that has a prefix identifying it as a VMFPLCD control record, but the record is not a group separator record or a file header record. I can see no such VMFPLCD control record header in the file unless a line containing only "()' qualifies. The string "plc", case insensitive, is nowhere in the file. If I look at the RPTF file, every record begins with x'02' followed by "PLC". Have I missed something? Is my RLST file corrupt? Regards, Richard Schuh
