Yes. You should apply the maintenance that is available, using your standard methodology. Everyone has different preferences, but IMO when installing a new release, it is better to apply all available service. Some may prefer to let the normal maintenance "age" before applying it and I would not fault anyone for doing it that way. However, all HIPER maintenance should be applied. The most unreliable MVS system that I ever worked on was one where the base MVS was applied and none of the maintenance that came with it was applied. The excuse that was given by the person who did it was that he was a contractor and the site didn't want to pay him to apply the maintenance. I would have done it at the same time using something like: APPLY FMID(fmid list) FORFMID(fmid list). -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
