For years we has packaged our products in GIMZIP format. I postprcessed the GIMZIP output to redact local User IDs/DSN prefixes. We instructed customers to use RECEIVE FROMNETWORK; they did, and all was well. Then one day, a persnickety customer stepped outside our installation process and used GIMUNZIP. Failed. GIMUNZIP enforced a convention where RECEIVE FROMNETWORK was more lenient. I changed our packaging script and wrote a script (I no longer have access to it) to generate GIMUNZIP control statements from the GIMZIP package. Why doesn't GIMUNZIP automate this? I tested all our subsequent packages with both RECEIVE FROMETWORK according to our instructions and GIMUNZIP, regardless that we did not recommend the latter. > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Gilmartin > Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2017 3:39 PM > > On Tue, 15 Aug 2017 20:13:46 +0000, Allan Staller wrote: > >> I have downloaded a SMPE packgage of PTFs to /smpnts.
