Here's the solution - re-request the PTFs, redownload a new set of them, reject the old ones, re-receive and re-apply the PTFs and everything is happy. No idea where the hiccup was but the second time around, everything worked.

Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 4:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Question on IXFP PTFs Hi. I'm running z/OS 1.4 on an MP3000 box (obviously in 31 bit mode). I have an RVA and am running IXFP and SnapShot. I recently ran into a problem with SnapShot where it isn't supporting PDS/E dataset level snaps correctly, converting them to unusable PDS datasets. I'm attempting to install maintenance to fix this problem and here is where I have hit the real problems. In running the APPLY of the maintenance, several of the PTFs failed with message "IEW2559E Rmode 64 is not supported". The "fix" for this (according to the z/OS 1.3 messages manual) is to correct the source, recompile, and relink. It is kinda hard to do that when I get the code already compiled. The PTFs say nothing about needing to be run under a 64 bit version of z/OS. My questions are: Has anybody else ran into this? How have you dealt with it? A corollary to this is the error message IEW2559E. It is documented in the z/OS 1.3 manual, but disappears from the 1.4-1.6 doc. In 1.7 it reappears, but as IEW2559S with a completely different message, something about compression.
