I have worked in QA for CA Technologies (Sterling Software prior to 2000) for 20+ years. In the course of doing my job I need to receive, apply, restore, and reject PTFs multiple times a week.
There isn't any shortcut to the REJECT that would actually save time. The CSI is key to SMP/E tracking. If one of the libraries controlled by that CSI is altered or restored, SMP/E becomes inaccurate. That alone would waste more of someone's time than just about anything else. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Friday, May 16, 2014 8:05 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SMP/E Question regarding automatically relinking a load module with maintenance On Thu, 15 May 2014 14:40:11 -0500, Tom Marchant wrote: > >>I have observed that merely deleting from the SMPPTS and re-RECEIVEing >>leaves tramp entries in the GLOBAL zone. > >I'm not surprised.

I don't know if he was making a recommendation or merely stating a fact, caveat emptor. You can clean up almost anything with UCLIN, but would you want to make it a habit? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
