Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] The OP is referring to a shop that reinstalls z/OS as a way to get to a current RSU level. In the years in between releases of z/OS, they reorder everything at a higher maintenance level and then do a complete reinstall. Has anyone ever heard of this method for putting on maintenance? Can you see any benefits of this approach? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
