Check for action holds on the relevant PTF. If a new directory is required, IBM

Correction.   I just went and looked at the actual filesystem

-rw-r--r--   2 BPXROOT  OMVSGRP      699 Sep 25  2019 EZAITMSG
-rw-r--r--   2 BPXROOT  OMVSGRP    26230 Dec 23  2019 EZAMLCAT
-rw-r--r--   2 BPXROOT  OMVSGRP     5026 Sep 25  2019 EZAMLRPY
TEC1:$ pwd
/RST01A/usr/lpp/tcpip/lib/nls/msg/C/IBM
TEC1:$
