Re: Missing Fix Report Question
Here's my theory: You said you pulled down 1yr of hold data. Only the 2 year HOLDDATA file contains Fix Category HOLDs, therefore, the first report you ran didn't use the latest Fix Category HOLDs. You then pulled down and applied the missing PTFs and reran the report, being surprised to find new missing PTFs. How did you obtain the PTFs? Most likely the 2 year HOLDDATA file was delivered with those PTFs, which contains Fix Category HOLDs. When you reran the report, you were finally using the latest and greatest HOLDs, hence the additional entries in the report.

Re: Missing Fix Report Question
That sounds like a good guess. When I pull hold data, I use the following FTP statements, which gets everything necessary for further processing: cd /s390/holddata get full.txt 'my-mvs-data-set' (repl . .

Re: Missing Fix Report Question
I believe Kurt's theory would be closest to what actually happened. I did pull only 1yr of hold data before running the missing fix report. Then when pulling down the 1st batch of ptf's I specified the specific ptf's plus pre and corecs. Is there a way to determine when I pulled down the second set of PTF's what hold data came down with it? The hold data is in a unix file and is unreadable when browsing.

Re: Missing Fix Report Question
At some point in your SMPE process, HOLDDATA must reside in an ordinary MVS/DFP file in EBCDIC. I.e. the file that you input to SMPE RECEIVE must be readable. Check the contents of that file. Only full.text contains FIXCAT data. Other (smaller) files contain ++HOLD but not FIXCAT. . .

Re: Missing Fix Report Question
I'm assuming you mean RSU1307. When you did the receive for the 21 PTFs, you may have received the HOLDDATA which contains the FIXCATs that called in the other 24. Had it been awhile since you received HOLDDATA? Greg -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
