I once had to BYPASS HOLDERR(). It was a new product. There was a hold against the FMID itself. Until the FMID was APPLIed, no further action was possible. So I bypassed that particular HOLDERR, which allowed the FMID itself to APPLY. That in turn allowed me to RECEIVE more PTFs, including one that SUP'ed the problem PTF. I always felt that this was a packaging error, but the result was fine.

As others have said, you have not shown a reason that you would need to BYPASS(HOLDERR). If there is a need to BYPASS(HOLDERR), it should be specific, as in BYPASS(HOLDERR(aparnum)). And first run APPLY CHECK and examine the output very carefully to ensure that you are not installing any error PTFs beyond the one that you need. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
