Hello,

I used to use
http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity/index.html
for these kind of reports, however it currently looks down to me....

> A fix category is an identifier used to group and associate PTFs to a
> particular category of software fixes.  A fix category might be used to
> identify a group of fixes that are required to support a particular
> hardware device, or to provide a particular software function, similar to
> how a preventive service planning bucket (PSP-bucket) identifies a group of
> PTFs.  Fix categories are supplied to you in the form of SMP/E FIXCAT
> HOLDDATA statements.  Each FIXCAT HOLDDATA statement associates an APAR and
> its related fixing PTF to one or more fix categories.
>
> During SMP/E RECEIVE command processing, SMP/E translates fix category
> values into source IDs and assigns them to the resolving (fixing) PTFs
> identified on the HOLDDATA.  You can then use the fix category values as
> source IDs when selecting a set of PTFs to be applied.  For example, if you
> have a z/OS V1.13 target zone named ZOSR13T, you can attempt to install all
> required coexistence and fallback fixes for z/OS V2.2 that have already
> been received by using the following command:
>
> SET BDY(ZOSR13T).
>   APPLY SOURCEID(IBM.Coexistence.z/OS.V2R2)
> CHECK.
>
> In addition, the SMP/E REPORT MISSINGFIX command can be used to identify
> PTFs for interesting fix categories that are missing in one or more target
> zones.  In this case only the latest HOLDDATA needs to be received and not
> the individual resolving PTFs.  For example, using the same zone as
> described above, you can identify all required coexistence and fallback
> fixes for z/OS V2.2 that are not yet applied in the ZOSR13T zone by using
> the following command:
>
> SET BDY(GLOBAL).
>   REPORT MISSINGFIX ZONES(ZOSR13T)
>     FIXCAT(IBM.Coexistence.z/OS.V2R2).
