It was your use of the term "files" that threw me. Just to be clear, there are no specific "files" for PUT or RSU. Both PUTyymm and RSUyymm are source IDs that are assigned to PTFs. The source IDs are defined by ++ASSIGN statements and are provided in the same file that contains PTFs when you order and acquire PTFs from IBM. The ++ASSIGN statements are provided in the file with the PTFs regardless of your PTF selection criteria. And finally, as far as I know, there are no plans for IBM to discontinue providing ++ASSIGN statements for PUTyymm source IDs. I hope this answers your questions.
