Also...receive from tape? I'd hope fewer people are using RECEIVE processing for product

One little note please: as noted in previous IBM-MAIN threads, many sites do
not have internet connections for their mainframe due to some rules and
regulations as mandated by [ignorant] management.
Yes, and for those who cannot connect z/OS to the Internet we do have
DVD available. My point is that receive from tape is in no way simpler
than either (a) avoiding receive (along with apply and accept) for
products entirely by ordering via ServerPac or (b) using RECEIVE ORDER
for service. (Suitability of DVD and Internet in a particular place is
of course another question.)
I think you should support all delivery methods until there is an agreement
what media and what delivery method should be used.
The very purpose of this enquiry! We want to avoid doing anything rash.
