Or, if there was really no error in the downloaded file (but it seems that there was), and if you meet the requirements for the VMSES "SERVICE" command. It's terrific, applying even RSU's in one swell foop. E.g.

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?
