PTF order fulfillment issues and getting HOLDDATA

Is anyone else having issues with order fulfillment with IBM? I ordered a single PTF through Shopz this morning and it generates the appropriate pairing below (contents removed): They generate the userid and password, so why do I get this below? EZA1701I >>> PASS 530 Login incorrect.

As far as I know, you cannot use ftp anymore to download PTF's. You have to use HTTPS or FTPS (or is it sftp). In order to use HTTPS, I added: downloadmethod="https" downloadkeyring="javatruststore" to the information in MYCLIENT Gadi -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion

I guess it depends on how you think of it. I don't think of it the way it is stated that people think of it. I think of it as "read each record in a file, processing each one." Neither of those loops TRULY represent this I think this is one reason why many languages go with the "for each"
