I may be totally wrong, but I happened to be running service on z/vm 5.3 yesterday and the SERVICE step failed on 4OSASF40 also. I had all userids commented out in my user directory. I just removed comments and did directxa and then restarted service. I figure I can just take them back out when I'm done? Hope that helps.

So I'm in the middle of applying service to a z/VM 5.2 system with the SERVICE exec, and all of a sudden it just stops - it can't find 4OSASF40's 7F00 minidisk. I look at the Volser, and It's one I don't recognize. This is not unusual, since I don't run OSASF at all. It just happens to be installed on this system I'm trying to apply service to. Since I'm sitting in the middle of a failed SERVICE exec process - is there a way I can backtrack and tell SERVICE to skip OSASF? I don't care if it gets this RSU applied or not since I don't run it and I never will. Maybe if I could mark it as already updated or something so that when I do a SERVICE RESTART it just skips it?
