Re: 5250 Express Data Stream PTF's

[Neil Palmer <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No big secret.  I just check SF97320 every couple of weeks and download
PTF's that look interesting (I scan on date in 17-24 starting with current
date, when I find one that looks interesting I use another 5250 session to
do SNDPTFORD xxnnnnn and take option '2' to 'Do not send now'.  When I've
done all the SNDPTFORD's I do a SBMJOB CMD(SNDSRVRQS *PREPARED) to download
them all in batch).  I read the cover letters to learn of anything that may
be of use.  I know others have automated the SNDPTFORD task to order all new
PTF's automatically, but I want to see the detail so I know what's happening.
I also have IBMLink SERVicelink access to check any APAR's or scan the Q
n& A databases.
