I talked to SSA about my problem with FILES in BMR that I not believe belong 
multiple times in library list, particularly physical, or libraries shared by 
environments & also asked about some other matters like our move to 170 
without 8 mm tape drive ... it might be nice to get BMRs on CD ... anyhow the 
OSG spread sheet on Y2K fix story is apparently updated every Monday, and all 
the fixes there for a version can be ordered that Monday afternoon & the 
number system for shipping that is outside the normal BMRs.

So, if accessing OSG is a big pain in the butt for you as it is for us, 
Monday nite is the best time to clog up the access network to get at the 
latest Y2K list & compare to see what they added for our version vs. last 
weelk's.  Bad news for 405 CD like us ... the source code with this is AS/Set 
only ... so if you are not using AS/Set, be sure to place individual orders 
with the help line for each & every source code associated with the Y2K fix 
package, or you will not get them.  SSA internal politics is fighting to fix 
this for V4 but don't hold your breath that it will be resolved in time for 
Y2K.

We have some 6 digit BMRs - that is really the incident # after the 101 for a 
cluster of BMRs, until the 5 digit system runs out of numbers.

I am now using a separate library in our library list for files that got 
added via BMRs.
