Hi Al, thanks.  Do you an email address I can send to?  All I am looking
for is to mail a tape to IBM.  Shouldn't the business partner be able to
help?

The "warrantee" does not give you voice support.  It allows you to send
an e-mail or fax to IBM, for which they have "n" hours to get back to
you.

If it's a bug that affects you only, rots-of-ruck.  If it affects IBM's
intellectual property, you might even get a phone call back.

Should this not be covered under the warrantee of the OS license? cjg

I wish you luck. Try (800) 237-5511 which is the SW support number. With
out a SW support contract IBM most likely won't even talk to them. They
may have to sign at least an hourly contract.

Subject: How to submit an APAR


I have a client who has been getting lots of errors in their SMTP server
job and logs a software problem in WRKPRB.  Running the analysis always
says it is an application error of some sort (100% chance) and the
program is an IBM system object in QSYS.  I have reported the problem
via ECS (3 times now over the past 6 months) to see if there is an
available PTF for the issue.  (The client is on V5R1 and has all the
latest PTFs related to SMTP and TCP).  I always get a response that, the
problem has not been reported before, and I should submit an APAR.  So I
finally followed the directions on the screen and saved the requested
object to an APAR library and saved the library to tape.

As usual, here is where the fun begins.  I contacted the Business
Partner who sold the box to the client, and she directed me to a web
site.  The website requires a user name and password.  She also
suggested I call 800-IBM-SERV, but the person I spoke to there had no
idea what an APAR was, could not decide it I need to talk to hardware or
software support (the client does not have IBM maintenance).  After
messing with her on the phone for quite a while, I thought I would ask
the experts.   So...... How the heck do you submit an APAR tape?????

This SHOULD be simple, but since it involves IBM, it is not.

Once again, thanks in advance to all who can help.
