Hi, All:

I was going to reply privately, but then I changed my mind and forgot to remove the "PRIVATE REPLY" tags -- sorry for any confusion caused.

In any case, though it is possible to support IASPs using e.g.RSTLICPGM, it is not automatic because you must write programs that conform to IBM specifications for exit programs for SAVLICPGM/RSTLICPGM and the PTF processing exits. And that is a non-trivial effort. That's all I was trying to say.

To support installing an LPP's objects into an IASP, you must code IBM-supplied exit programs that work with those software packaging APIs and the RSTLICPGM command, and these exits are not very well-documented.

The process is even worse when creating, loading and applying PTFs for your own LPPs. All LPP objects to be PTFed _must exist_ in *SYSBAS. Then, you have to use a PTF exit program to optionally replicate some or all of those objects into one or more IASPs -- but, this hardly what I would call /a trivial exercise/ by any stretch of the imagination.
