Like inability to apply a PTF that affects the same modules and does not pre or sup the USERMOD.? If that's the case and the PTF replaces all pieces altered by the USERMOD, then you have other options -- Like using UCLIN to delete the USERMOD from zones and applying and accepting the conflicting PTF would get all pieces back in sync without the USERMOD present. Or if you have backups of the distribution library members affected by the USERMOD, or original source members that could be used to create them, you may have ways to manually "restore" the distribution library members to go along with a UCLIN manual undo of the USERMOD accept.
If the accepted USERMOD is not causing problems with new PTF maintenance, the simplest approach is to let it ride. When you migrate to a new system version with new libraries and new SMP/E zones, the problem will solve itself. If the only problem caused, is difficulty installing a revised version of the same USERMOD, you can get around that by other means (checkout USERMOD REWORK parameter). Do not proceed with manual kludges without adequate backups or copies of affected libraries and zones. -- Joel C.
