Need more PTF guidance
On a hunch, I went to the IBM tech support site (https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/zseries.srchBroker) where I found 2 PTF's that addressed my problem with PL/I and HFS. But both PTF pages have this: Applicable component levels R703 PSY UQ91928 UP04/08/19 P F408 R705 PSY UQ91929 UP04/08/19 P F408 R706 PSY UQ91930 UP04/08/19 P F408 R707 PSY UQ91931 UP04/08/19 P F408 R708 PSY UQ91932 UP04/08/19 P F408 Select the PTF appropriate for your component level. So, how do I select the applicable component level? I guessed and tried the last, didn't work; then I tried the R705 because I see I have HLE7705 FMID (I don't even know if that's the right FMID for PL/I, but my colleague seemed to think it is). Anyway, the un-terse goes OK, but the receive fails because there is no match of sysmods. Arrrh! I'm just shooting mostly in the dark anyway, so I come again asking for some guidance: how can I find the correct FMID and component level so I know what PTF to download?

You can order PTFs by APAR number using ShopzSeries or even SUF. Both will use your inventory to determine the correct PTF for your environment. For ShopzSeries, you must generate (via a batch job) and upload (via the web) your inventory. For SUF it's automatic.

Thanks, Greg. I tried what you suggested and it looks
like HLE7703, HLE7705, HLE7706, HLE7707, and HLE7708
are all on my system.
Of course, I don't know how to interpret the listing:
To select an entry from a zone, enter S next t
* - Entry not found in zone.
** - Zone could not be allocated or is not
Status ---
ZONE TYPE FMID STATUS DATE
---
CSQ531D *
CSQ531T *
GLOBAL
MVSD SUP
MVST SUP
** Bottom of data
I don't know what SUP status tells me; I just notice
the last three zones do not have an asterisk in the
TYPE field, and I interpret the * to mean Entry
not found in zone as indicated above the table. If
this is correct, then I get the same display for all
of the HLE770n values mentioned. So I'm not there
yet.

Re: Need more PTF guidance
This is intersting. I'm surprised by the number of replys that suggest download them all and let the system sort it out. I'm guilty of that too - Its just too time consuming to try and figure out if R1JK or R1JL is my release. More than once have I downloaded what I thought was the correct PTF only to get a failure at receive and have to repeat the process. More than once I have wondered why IBM doesn't just use the full FMID.

Re: Need more PTF guidance
It looks like that APAR doesn't apply to your level. But UQ91932 which is for level 708 is SUPed by UQ92378 which shows UQ92379 for level 709 which is SUPed by UK02624, so you may be able to fix your problem by putting on UK02624 or UQ92369 Should be UQ92379 at the end of that last sentence *** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *** -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Need more PTF guidance
None of them. The F408 says these PTFs were released in the 2004 08 maintenance.. I would think it was either incorporated in the base level code in which case no PTF is required, or it got missed and is described and fixed under a differnet APAR/PTF combination, or you have discovered a new problem or this isn't the problem you are having.

You would want this PTF: R707 PSY UQ91931 UP04/08/19 P F408 and it be for FMID HLE7707. George Thanks. That does help.

The 3 characters after the R are not the actual release number, but the last 3 characters of the FMID. Check your target zone to see which function you have installed and order the PTF for that level. So, how do I select the applicable component level? I guessed and tried the last, didn't work; then I tried the R705 because I see I have HLE7705 FMID (I don't even know if that's the right FMID for PL/I, but my colleague seemed to think it is). That's probably an LE function rather than a PL/I function. What's the FMID on that PTF? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
