My customers pay me and I pay my college kid son to check them everyday. I
never thought to apply Ptf's on the mimix box. Dumb.

There is plenty of dasd. This machine I’m working on is a Mimix target.

I

don’t think it has any ptfs applied since it was created.

I’m going to apply the cume this weekend

I'm following the PC program and trying to apply MF99011

It tells me to apply PTF's permanently and IPL which I've done. Once

I

get

the image catalogs uploaded I'll try to build that list and allocate

LIC

storage. If that doesn't work I'll probably call IBM on Monday.

I tried that API and it gave me the same message. I'm going to

get

my

image catalogs moved to this machine and then I'll do the prepare

option 1

to see if I can set it to V7R3.

Thanks

No where are you told to take that option. What you are told

instead

is

to run this:

Now, IDK why they don't say take that option. It is what we

used

to

use.

Let's assume they are using some option on that API that the

menu

doesn't

support. Let's also assume that the people who work on the

menu

and

the

people who write these instructions will not talk to each other

and

fix

the menu. Or maybe the menu is updated, but only if you have

PTF

such

and

such and IBM just simply got tired of reminding people to have

that

PTF

on. But basically, try the API directly, as instructed, and

see

if

your

results differ.
After all it must be drastic enough that they put all these

instructions

into Knowledge Center instead of just fixing the menu.

Remember,

they

have to translate Knowledge Center into a bazillion different

languages.

The menu was translated a coon's age ago.
