More Y2K PTFs?

Jeff,

There is no plan to provide CUMs for all (or any for that matter) of
the releases on December 28.

The one thing that had been planned for December 28 was to update the
Y2K Group PTF content.  IBM has been updating the Y2K Groups every
Tuesday (maybe once or twice real early Wednesday) since late 1998 and
intends to continue such updates until (at least) the end of February
2000.  Tuesday updates are business as usual.

Having said this is business as usual, IBM is moving up the update date
from Dec 28 (one time only).  This is due an extremely high order rate
for the Y2K Group PTFs and a desire to mass produce the CDs (usually they
are made to order) over the holidays so as to meet demand.  Come January
4 IBM will be back to Tuesday updates.

In case anyone is wondering, there are three PTFs being added for
next weeks Group.  These PTFs are currently available individually and
are:

    V3R2: SF60450 (DLO correction) and SF60491 (BRMS correction for
          saves active at midnight December 31 1999)
    V3R7: SF60496 (BRMS correction for save active at midnight 12/31/99)
    V4Rx: No new PTFs

Very few users who have recently ordered the Y2K Groups should have any
great interest in these additions.

Hope this helps,
Bruce Vining
