Re: Oh where has my disk space gone?

Usually only if you have a secondary language installed.
We were talking about the situation where you permanently apply all PTF's
before a release upgrade.  At that point it isn't going to matter about
some PTF's only being temporarily applied to allow you to remove it, as
you're going to be replacing the whole OS anyway.   ;-)
And someone mentioned the possibility that some of these temporarily
applied PTF's leave pieces hanging around after a release upgrade. Whether
a RCLSTG would eventually clean them up, who knows !

And by knowing about adding the IPLSRC parm I dated myself too didn't I !
        ;-)

surely you've received a PTF or two in your time, that require you to
_only_
apply them *temp, haven't you?

granted, not for the usual case, but again, since it doesn't really buy a
lot on these systems and leaves the door open to fall back on the A side,
why bother.

as for dating myself, of course, they added that parameter, but as an
aspiring geezer (Charlie's my mentor.... <vbg>) I still find myself
leaving
the iplsrc off the command....

fingers sometimes quicker than brain.... ;-)
