Yes. I hope the PTF is not for a product that requires an IPL. You apply the PTF to a different target zone. Then, after the APPLY is successful, you create a new LNKLST set, replacing the data sets) with the one(s) from the new target zone and activate it. New jobs will use the new linklist set. UPDATE JOB(*) should *only* be considered if currently running address spaces need the updated libraries. There is a risk in using it. What kind of product are you updating? -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
