It is not essential to have RC=0 from an APPLY. RC=4 is usually ok, but you do need to ascertain the reasons for it. PTFs that do not apply because there is an ERROR hold is not a problem, unless those PTFs are critical for your system. There has to be a specific problem that you have with your system. >so, I >used by pass to move ahead for apply. IF you have researched the APARs for these error holds, And IF you have determined that the PTF(s) that are held resolve a problem that you have been experiencing, And IF you have decided that the problem that you have that is corrected by the PTFs is more critical in your environment than the problems described by the APARs, Then, and only then, does it make sense to bypass the errors. >Is there any issues you see in this. Yes. BYPASS(HOLDERROR(...)) tells SMP/E to introduce new errors to your system. Don't do it unless you REALLY know what you are doing. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
