The RELEASE information in the APAR corresponds to the last 3 characters of the FMID. E.g., using CICS as an example, and assuming you have TS 2.3 (CICS 6.3, FMID HCI6300) installed: APAR PQ01234 ... RELEASE 300: UQ00123 RELEASE 200: UQ00125 RELEASE 100: UQ00124 You'd select UQ00123. So, check the exact FMID of the component whose APAR you're looking at, and choose the applicable release via the above scheme. -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html --------------------------------- Relax.
