As you know, each DB2 RSU PTF package contains hundreds of PTFs. When we apply those PTFs, we may need to restore some USERMOD and related PTFs first and then proceed with applying task.
If your problem is that to restore the USERMOD you must also restore PTFs, there is a solution that may work. If the USERMOD must be restored along with PTFs, you are going to need to rework it to have newer PREs to the new set of PTFs. Why not just create a new USERMOD that SUPs the old one and reapplies its contents. Since the USERMOD is going against a member that being replaced by a the new PTFs there would otherwise be no need to do the RESTORE to override the fact that the USERMOD is not listed as a PRE/SUP in the new PTF. Another solution is to just use UCLIN to delete the USERMOD entry on the module and then APPLY the USERMOD with the updated PRE info.
