Re: Downloading a V4R5 PTF

["Mark S. Waterbury" <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, Albert:

Try the following:

1. download the CUMulative PTF package (as a CD image) containing this 
PTF you are after

2. burn the image onto a "real" CD (since V4R5 does not support image 
catalogs)

3. insert the CD into one AS/400 that is running V4R5, and issue LODPTF 
to load the desired PTF(s) from the media (CD)
   (at this point, you should now have the "cover letter" (in a 
physical file member) and the save file for the PTF, loaded on that V4R5 
system)

4. issue the CPYPTF command to copy the PTF to another "destination" for 
example, a save file of your choice

HTH,

Mark
