You investigate the causes and decide they're all OK. So you APPLY for real and tolerate the RC=8 because the CHECK was OK. But this time there's a utility failure.
I suppose you need to inspect the reports from APPLY as thoroughly as those from APPLY CHECK. Whittling down the APPLY CHECK to RC=0 improves the S/N ratio for APPLY. Hasn't there been a recent enhancement so BYPASS can get RC=0? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
