If you're just interested in HOLDDATA, try what I do for multiple releases/products that I maintain concurrently.
1. Run a step to pull all available HOLDDATA and store into a single flat file or PDS(E) member. You only hit the web once. 2. Follow this with as many steps as necessary to RECEIVE this HOLDDATA into all applicable CSIs. Example for z/OS 2.3 and GDPS, each with its own GLOBAL zone. //FTPGET EXEC PGM=FTP,REGION=32M, // PARM='proxy(exit=8 timeout 720' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*,BLKSIZE=133 //OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*,BLKSIZE=133 //INPUT DD * anonym...@service.boulder.ibm.com userid@URL ; cd /s390/holddata ; get full.txt 'hlq.smpe.ptfs(holddata)' (repl ; quit ; //* //* //ZOSR23 EXEC SMPR23,COND.SMPSTEP=(0,LT,FTPGET) //* //* //SMPHOLD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.SMPE.PTFS(HOLDDATA) //SYSIN DD * SET BOUNDARY(GLOBAL) .

Why not just run the SMPE Receive order for all available maintenance, once for each global zone you have? You get the current enhanced holddata, and you get all available maintenance. That way, when Receive order is broken, and you need that one PTF, maybe you already have it? No one says you have to apply it, but you have it at your fingertips when you do need it. I don't understand the thought process of just getting holddata, or just *some* of the PTF's. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Smith, Sean M Sent: Monday, March 4, 2019 2:05 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SMPE Internet Service Retrieval: TRANSFERONLY **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** We have moved exclusively to SMPE internet service retrieval so FTP is no longer an option.
