SMPe "rollout" of maintenance
When I obtain maintenance for an RSU (e.i. for Db2 RSU1902). I receive and apply, then implement first in one of our 2 sand boxes, leaving our 2nd sand box at our prior maintenance level. My question is, before I have rolled out the new maintenance, what if I need a one off PTF for the prior maintenance? Should 2 CSIs be kept? One for new maintenance and a second one for a prior maintenance level.

Re: SMPe "rollout" of maintenance
thanks for the reply! Please excuse the rookie questions, but that means one global, clone the target and dlib before apply. then lets say I need a one-off ptf to the previous maintenance levelI apply that to the clone target? thanks Bill -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

report for dataset recall from tape
Hello, First let me clarify, i am not a storage person. I am a Db2 Systems Programmer. We manually migrated some Db2 tablespace datasets from DASD to tape(first stopping the object). Afterwards, the dataset was recalled but Db2 issued a data inconsistency error (00C20110). I have a PMR opened with IBM DFHSM (as per IBM Db2 support instructions). My question is this, what reports could I run to get documentation for IBM showing when the dataset was migrated and when it was recalled? Can I get a "history report" showing anything that occurred to the dataset? Any advice would be appreciated! thank you Bill -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

"merging" 2 RSU levels
If I have RSU1905 received and Apply checked and prepared the holddata actions ready to go, but now want to receive and apply rsu1906; should I first implement rsu1905 then apply rsu1906? how do I only get the additional holddata?

thanks for your response. but if I run apply check for rsu1906, wont that give ALL the holddata, and not the difference between RSU1905 and RSU1906? thanks Bill -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: "merging" 2 RSU levels

Rexx calls versus branching
I am still learning Rexx. Can someone give a simple example of 1) calling a routine and returning. 2) branching to a routine without returning. I have a SELECT statement and from the last where clause I want to branch to a routine without returning. But it keeps returning and falling thru the end of the SELECT statement. thanks Bill -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: Rexx calls versus branching
Thank you very much for your response. I also have a Rexx routine that has "call code 0" and call code 0 100" which seems to branch to a routine "code" for error handling? how are the 0 and 100 values processed? thanks Bill -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: Rexx calls versus branching
My statement is as follows: SELECT WHEN ssid = "" THEN grp = "" WHEN ssid = " " THEN say 'subsystem not entered'; call code OTHERWISE NOP END I thought it was falling though when SSID was blank.
