Re: Ordering PTFs for next version

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Understood... just never remembered getting some of those messages before.
I think i'll do them on a media order anyway so that I can load them as a
group with one command... thanks!

PTF's come across in a save file.  The file was saved on a V5R3 machine
with TGTRLS(*CURRENT).  You cannot do a DSPSAVF on a save file from a
system that is more current than yours.  Shouldn't be a problem since you
will upgrade to V5R3 prior to you actually using the save file.  You
should be able to do a LODPTF from that save file and apply it after you
upgrade to V5R3.

In the future I recommend using Fix Central versus SNDPTFORD.  This will
allow you to get an entire CUME, group ptf's and any individual ptf's you
want into one or more virtual drives.  Really kicks butt.  And your
internet connection may be significantly faster than your SNDPTFORD
connection.

thoughts?  I'm going from V5R2 to V5R3 and trying to order some individual
PTFs in advance...
