  • Subject: RE: is there a reason to save old ptf tapes?

No - unless you're always running short of blank tapes and don't want to
buy them !   :-)
Just keep the one you have installed most recently.  Once you have a
SAVSYS backup (or two !) after applying the cum package there's not
really a need to even keep the current one, unless you may install new
IBM software for the present release (which will require you to go back
and apply any PTF's to the newly installed code).

Here in Canada IBM includes a mailing label to return the "Loan Media"
to IBM - even on cum packages distributed on CD !    Originally this was
for tax reasons (Ontario would tax the full value of software if you
included physical media in the price, so it was designated "Load
Media").
Maybe they also want to be environmentally responsible and recycle the
media ?
