But that doesn't mean you have to apply them all. >And, if CONTENT(ALL) is recommended, why is there CONTENT(RECOMMENDED)? > Recommended by Brian. :-) I have seen plenty of recommendations for applying service (including some very nice SHARE presentations in recent years from Greg Daynes), but I don't recall any specific recommendation to use CONTENT(ALL) from IBM. However, if you aren't concerned about space in the SMPPTS(es), then I wholeheartedly agree (this shouldn't be an issue for practically all shops these days). Better to have a PTF sitting in your SMPPTS ready to apply in an emergency than having to rely on RECEIVE ORDER, ShopZ or any other method of PTF delivery when the server on the other end may not be working.
