There *was* more to the story The PE list in OA14708 today includes all affected PTFs and the AI information (which was only on *some* of the PTFs) has now been deleted. In addition, under 'additional symptoms' OA14708 describes the aspect of the problem which was specific to HDS hardware.

Not sure what you mean by IBM has backed off. The APAR quoted does not mention HDS, nor does it flag as PE any PTF (which means that HDS customers are still doomed to discover their new MVS maintenance fails to IPL). There must be more to the story Brian On Wed, 4 Jan 2006 09:05:13 -0600,
