It's good that you are so careful. Your story illustrates why it
is best to
always copy the complete target every time. As you know, my
preference is
to copy before applying the maintenance. I know others prefer to
copy after.
I think that's ok, but copy *everything*.

Tom:
Point taken. What I didn't mention in the item was that the company I
worked for was extremely short in DASD volumes (yes real 3390's or
3380's). I had to beg for everything. Hell I could NOT even order
copies of manuals for the other sysprogs (I had to end up copying the
manuals by hand in a XEROX machine). I had to make due with what I
was given. When ever budget time came around I always had a list of
must haves and kept getting turned down even when planning a year
ahead of time. The VP was a real jerk when it came to spending money.
In a meeting I told him the things I had to do so I could get around
his penny pinching ways. He said good I had something to keep me
busy. I even suggested that an outage could occur because of a
mistake and got back well I better not make any mistakes then.
