Hey Kurt, In the shop I work, I've been told some years ago only some of our systems have connectivity to IBM. I don't if that is true or not(never really had time to do any testing), but if this is really the case we might have a reason not to RECEIVE PTFs directly. We have 2 SMPE environments, 1 in a system that has connectivity to IBM (indicated as system A) and 1 in a system that does NOT have it (indicated as system B). When we download PTFs for system B, we do it through system A, se we need to indicate system's A Global zone in the download JCL. It just acts like a dummy, but the RECEIVE FROMNETWORK will not work without it. I guess this is the only case I've ever seem of some shop that does not want to RECEIVE FROMNETWORK directly.
