I heard about this change several times during the week in San Jose. I'm
pretty sure that the message was that RECEIVE will *not fail* absent the
toleration PTF. You will get 30K+ messages complaining about unrecognized
data in the input stream and a return code 8 to make you pay attention. All
recognized data--that is, everything you currently process
successfully--will be properly digested and absorbed, as all properly
absorbed nutrients are, into vital motors for the sustenance of the total
organism. The undigested intake is deposited elsewhere.

In other words, without the toleration PTF, you will have to deal with a
rather foul mess, but there will be no harm.

I think I have this information correct.  My notes are in my suite case
waiting to board a plane.


At the Share presentation yesterday on the new features in SMP/E 3.5 it was
stated that we need to install a toleration PTF in order to continue
receiving maintenance once the FIXCAT function is implemented in SEPTEMBER
2008.

Without the PTF on our SMP/E 3.4 or 3.3 systems, our Receives will fail due
to the new keywords
