In my opinion, and I think IBM's as well, you should __NEVER__ apply maintenance into running libraries unless you are certain that you know exactly what you are doing. Why? Because sometimes some APAR will hit multiple modules which reside in different libraries in such a way that you will get a "mismatch" which could cause a system outage. I know. I've done it.
I always copy my running environment to a new set of volumes, apply maintenance to those volumes, then IPL from those volumes. Otherwise, you are at risk of an outage. This, to me, is a major "problem" with z/OS. With Linux, I can apply maintenance to my running system and have never had an outage yet. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
