Re: z/VM 5.3 vs. RSU

[Schuh, Richard]

Same problem if RLST5794 is specified. If I specify RPTF0194, it works. 
 
And I thought that the S in RSU was Service. How silly of me to try to
treat the RSU as a service envelope :-) I am sure that Chuckie would
say, "There is 'service' and there is 'Service'." The RLST file that was
downloaded apparently serves no function other than to perhaps act as a
readme file. 

Thanks,

        Use the VMFINS command for RSU files. VMFREC is for corrective
service envelopes.
         
        vmfins install info (nomemo env RLST5794

        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?
