On a very rare occasion I have bypassed an error hold on a PTF where I needed the fix the PTF fixed and the error hold against the PTF wasn't significant. However, that being said, you shouldn't as a rule bypass error holds. The best thing to do is to either not include them or just let SMP/E not apply them (if a RC=8 is OK with you). Do not just bypass a bunch of holderror entries!
To respond to the question about the bypass(holdsystem..., the examples you are listing won't be bypassed with the holdsystem, to bypass these (NOT recommended)you would need to do a bypass(holderror(.....))

I'm doing an apply check on FMID HDZ11G0 and as an example I seem holds on items such as listed below AA04297 UNRESOLVED UA03573 AA05567 UNRESOLVED UA04833 AA05597 UNRESOLVED UA03982 However there are many of these all different items. I have checked several of these and found that these are in error, why would I want to bypass them during an apply (no check)? Wouldn't the best thing to do is just not include them in the run when I include a bypass(holdsystem(IPL DOC...) Thanks --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!
