>From SMP/E Command (RESTORE Procssing): GROUP indicates that if SMP/E determines that additional SYSMODs should be restored, other than those specified in the SELECT list, SMP/E should automatically include them. For example, assume you have applied a function and service for that function. When you select the function and specify the GROUP operand, SMP/E also tries to restore the service that was applied for that function. Likewise, assume you have applied two PTFs, and one defines the other as the prerequisite. When you select the prerequisite and specify the GROUP operand, SMP/E also tries to restore the other PTF. On the other hand, if you select the SYSMOD that specifies the prerequisite, SMP/E restores that particular SYSMOD only if the prerequisite has been accepted. However, assume you have installed two PTFs that affect the same element but that do not define any relationship to each other. If you select one of the PTFs and specify the GROUP operand, SMP/E does not try to restore the other PTF. You have to specify both PTFs on the SELECT operand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
