I disagree. It is a manual step that can easily be done incorrectly. If you accidently use the "lastopt" option before the accept in the last zone, you will have the same problem that you just had. If you forget to use the "lastopt" option on the lass accept, you will have to run a reject purge. >> >>In fact I'm afraid of REJECT.

Agreed. Indeed, when you had to re-receive with bypass applycheck and acceptcheck, you may have received some sysmods that had already been applied and accepted everywhere. These will never go away unless you do a REJECT PURGE. -- 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
