Hello Mike,
Here is a IDCAMS SAM/VSAM define that works great.
You can use FTPBATCH or any client FTP to load to it.
// EXEC IDCAMS,SIZE=AUTO

Hello,
It looks like something is wrong with the file. Doing the DITTO, it
cancels too. Strange that it reports on the number of records and then
cancels. Will start again with the FTP , etc...

Michael:
The way we handle it is to ensure that the IJSYSPF DLBL
imbedded within the APPLY JCL generated by IUI points to the file that
we want, in addition to adding it to standard labels. This always works
for us. When viewing it in DITTO, is the IJSYSPF file fixed-length
80-character records? What does standard labels show for IJSYSPF?

Subject: Trouble applying PTFs
Greetings,
I ordered a bunch of IBM fixes for z/VSE 4.3.0 and I am having trouble
applying them.
This is a vanilla z/VSE system that I ordered at the beginning of the
year and am now trying to bring up to date.
I created a special VSAM catalog for the PTFs and have put the files to
the PTF.FILE contained with in. I also changed he standard labels to
point to this file
I ran the following:
// JOB INSTFIX
*
* Job to install fixes from disk
*
// OPTION LOG
// EXEC MSHP,SIZE=1M
INSTALL SERVICE FROMDISK
/*
/&
I get :

It produces the list of PTFS sent to my VM CMS userid. Looks fine.
Any ideas why it should then cancel?
