IBM never changed form numbers for TNLs, but did change form numbers for reprints that incorporated TNLs

My memory* is biased towards “no” and – as the keeper of the cupboard in my branch – we updated the dash when we shipped a whole new physical copy (from Mechanicsburg). * From 1987/88 😊 From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on behalf of Eric Rossman <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, 5 June 2025 at 14:34 To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Seems like TAR requires AR mode Since we moved to continuous delivery of publications, it has become harder to detect. I know that ICSF doesn't change the version number when updating/correcting a publication, only when the document is for a new release (FMID). We document the date of update on the download pages, I thought.

You periodically check the checksum of the manuals to see if there were changes? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless otherwise stated above: IBM United Kingdom Limited Registered in England and Wales with number 741598 Registered office: Building C, IBM Hursley Office, Hursley Park Road, Winchester, Hampshire SO21 2JN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
