This is a real mystery to me. I had the file defined as such and tried again. 
 
First, because of a VPN issue I transferred the file to my CMS logon as Fixed 80. I then transferred the CMS file to a 4.1.0 VSE machine. 
 
As I may have mentioned before, I have one minidisk with a VSAM catalog called 'PTF.USER.CATALOG' with the 'PTF.FILE' defined within.
 
This same minidisk is linked read-write by a 4.1.0 machine and my new 4.3.0 machine. I don't have TCP/IP for VSE on the 4.3.0 machine yet. To be on the safe side when I want to use the catalog in one machine I EXPORT DISCONNECT in the other and IMPORT CONNECT in the one I want to use.
 
I have done a IDCAMS PRINT FILE in both but for the z/VSE 4.3.0 machine it cancels at the end.
 
z/VSE 4.3.0 I have:

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

    DELETE (PTF.FILE) CL NOERASE PURGE  -

     CATALOG(VSESP.USER.CATALOG)

  DEFINE CLUSTER(NAME(PTF.FILE)     -

     VOLUMES(DOSRES SYSWK1)                 -

     RECORDS(300000,300000)                  -

     RECORDSIZE (80,10320)                  -

     RECORDFORMAT(FIXBLK(80))               -

     REUSE                                  -

    NONINDEXED                             -

     SHAREOPTIONS(1)                        -

     FREESPACE(15,7))                       -

     DATA (NAME (PTF.FILE.DATA))    -

     CATALOG(VSESP.USER.CATALOG)

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?

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                    
*

*                                 
// OPTION LOG                     
// EXEC MSHP,SIZE=1M              
INSTALL SERVICE FROMDISK

/&                                

I get :
