This is normal. Any time you apply maintenance, there will be PTFs that are in error. The error PTFs are not applied. There can be circumstances when a specific error PTF will be applied. This usually happens when your shop has suffered from the problem that the error PTF attempted to correct AND you have determined that the problem introduced by the error is of a low risk in your shop. This is rarely a good idea, especially if you are not very experienced. IBM will eventually resolve the error with a superseding PTF. I see that you are applying all service. Some Sysprogs like to only apply maintenance through a recent quarterly RSU, but not necessarily the latest quarterly RSU. You might see more errors that way. You will likely apply more PTFs that are in error but have not yet been identified as being in error. BTW, I don't necessarily agree with Lizette's recommendation that you not apply ERREL PTFs. Perhaps others will chime in on that. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
