RE: CPYTOIMPF with QNTC (formerly Help with SWAPUSRPRF)

[Gad Miron <gadmiron@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rob

IBM's CE  has suggested PTF SI73774 and tried  to install it
(SNDPTFORD + LODPTF+APYPTF)
but there were many other (prerequisite?) PTFs received with the  SNDPTFORD
and the LODPTF + APYPTF got botched.
I'll get a Cumulative Package  and have a go at it.
Meanwhile , I plan to IPL the system on Saturday.
Will see..

Gad
