>Please read the ++ HOLD DDDEF text in PTF UA07794. <snip> Jim, I hope you don't routinely ignore HOLDDATA when applying maintenance! Even DOC holds sometimes contain actions (even though they should not by definition). Very few holds can be "ignored" (for example, "IPL" when you know you are applying maintenance to a target sysres that has to be IPLed in order to use it). >>but there is still no reference as to what it is used for. The PTF added support to initialize / load a usable pre-customized UNICODE environment if one doesn't exist at IPL time for DB2. This saves you the trouble of defining all the conversions. However, if you require unicode you may want to create your own conversion image anyway as the pre-configured image size is something like 39M and is fixed storage. Depending on the size of your system(s) that may be a nit or it could be an issue. I think the size of our customized image is only around 1M. Search the archives for more.
