"...But the vendor fails to declare the dependency..." Point right on. This is the vendors responsibility no? Else who/how to protect the integrity of the maintenance chain? The customer?
My original post was to try to understand other conditions where this would be necessary as a standard way of doing business. It sounds like the answer is no. Exceptions not withstanding, we should always expect that a pe'd ptf will be removed from the chain or sup'd by the correcting maintenance. thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
