RE: Permanently Applying PTF's...

Hi Chuck,
        it sounds like we are singing from the same song sheet - I didn't
mean to try and teach you to suck eggs ;-)

Good luck.  If you want/need to discuss this more on or off-list ...

Regards,
        Jeff Bull

selling you disks that are not

additional charge!) by lending you some
additional disk space until after the v4r5 upgrade, twist their arms if
necessary.>

I've tried getting them to do stuff before with NO luck (reported them to
IBM...)

<or , 2) I assume you have a full system backup in your upgrade plan ... so
after the backups, delete a few of
your large libraries to make room for the upgrade;  co-ordinate the v4r5
upgrade with the disk upgrade
(following immediately), then restore the deleted libraries.  This is a more
difficult approach to manage, and
long hours over a week-end, but it should work.>

That is something I was had considered and was fearing :-) But might be the
only alternative !

Thanks,

Chuck
