I'm also curious about 'not applying', but 'not restoring' is a long standing characteristic. A PTF may contain a ++DELETE among its effects. There's a special system hold category for this bad boy that tells you it cannot be restored because a key element is gone. They're fairly rare, but they do exist.

If you mean that there's a PTF that cannot be applied, how then is it a PTF? And if you can APPLY it but not RESTORE...I'm incredulous. Can you expand on that? --- Bob Bridges, cell 336 382-7313 [email protected] [email protected] /* 'Tis easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it. -Poor Richard */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carmen Vitullo Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2019 11:26 you should concentrate on your current situation, research the use of APPLY/ RESTORE with group or groupextend, research why a PTF will not apply or restore, it may be a valid reason, not all PTF's will apply or restore.
