? The reason id for SECINT is the APAR number in the REASON parameter; SECINT is not a reason id.

I see that here: https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fdocs%2Fen%2Fzos%2F2.5.0%3Ftopic%3Dstatements-hold-mcs&data=05%7C01%7Csmetz3%40gmu.edu%7C7982809cc8d84ae0087e08dafa3ec533%7C9e857255df574c47a0c00546460380cb%7C0%7C0%7C638097444756138021%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=w271F5xT1xbeM8b6tr8h5ArxItYgAP6t567auKhfq3c%3D&reserved=0 which documents as your said: CLASS a 1- to 7-character string indicating an alternative reason to release an exception SYSMOD for processing. A class name is specified along with a reason ID to identify a condition when the reason ID need not be resolved. The same class name can be specified on any number of ++HOLD statements in any number of SYSMODs. These are the specific values currently used by IBM: Class Explanation ERREL The SYSMOD is held for an error reason ID but should be installed anyway. IBM has determined that the problem the SYSMOD resolves is significantly more critical than the error reflected by the holding APAR. HIPER The SYSMOD is held with a hold class of HIPER (High Impact) PE The SYSMOD is held with a hold class of “PTF in Error”. SECINT The reason ID SYSMOD identifies a fix for a security or integrity error. HOLDDATA for security or integrity fixes is available through the z Systems Security Portal. Information on registration and accessing the z Systems Security Portal is available at Enterprise security. If you are already registered you can link directly to the IBM Resource Link® Security Alerts. UCLREL UCLIN needed for the SYSMOD has been handled by IBM and no longer requires your attention. YR2000 Identifies PTFs that provide Year 2000 function, or fix a Year 2000-related problem. For additional information, see Naming conventions for HOLD reason IDs and HOLD classes. and the note at the bottom of that section takes you here: https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fdocs%2Fen%2Fzos%2F2.5.0%3Ftopic%3Dclasses-class-values&data=05%7C01%7Csmetz3%40gmu.edu%7C7982809cc8d84ae0087e08dafa3ec533%7C9e857255df574c47a0c00546460380cb%7C0%7C0%7C638097444756138021%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ux0aRAuMpHSJBkrN4NzorkXqBeRvmHsmg7MjF35BNWs%3D&reserved=0. And there is no mention of SECINT as a CLASS. Which doc is correct? I believe the latter. We are getting in the weeds here, and I'm done with the back and forth. The description above indicates SECINT is placed on the PTF that does the fix, and I believe that is incorrect as well. In prior post, i gave an example of PTF UI83571 that has SECINT SOURCEID from the RL ASSIGN download and receive. I see nothing on this PTF besides that, and I believe that is by design from IBM. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
