If you pull up the PTF entry you can see the FMID and PRE/REQ info that you can compare against your SMP environment.
A little tedious but once you find the right one you'll know to look at the Rxxx version from then on. -----Original Message----- Burrell, C. Todd Most of the time if I am not real sure, I just order both. The RECEIVE process will ignore the "extra" PTF, so it's no big deal. IBM's nomenclature can be very confusing. C.

Here's a situation where it's nice to know that the CTS 3.2 "internal CICS release" number is 6.5[00]. Another "helpful hint" is the FMID, which is HCI6500 for the "CICS base component". So, CICS TS 3.2 is "R500" for choosing PTFs. -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
