Re: PTF Disc 5 of 4 ??? -- MIDRANGE-L

Dave, I got something similar. It's something funny with the QDSETMAP on the CD - it lists a 5th CD but does not use it.

If it meant the HIPER or DB group CDs, I think it would have had more CD entries in the QDSETMAP, but it didn't. Those had their own.

Too bad it was in there - probably had caused lots of confusion.

BTW, I got mine with the FTP image download - same problem. I'm not sure I actually got the 5th image.

Greetings,

I've got a PTF question and any thoughts would be appreciated.  We're at
V5R1.  Last week a cum PTF order that I had placed came in.  The cum
consisted of 5 CD's all labeled C3175510_xx (xx=01, 02, etc. thru 05).
When I did the GO PTF option #8 and selected all PTF's it displayed 1 of 4,
2 of 4, etc as they were loading.  It never used the 5th CD.  Is it likely
that this CD has the cover letters, additional PTF's, or it's just a
coaster they sent as a promotion?  I've loaded PTF's before but as long as
I can remember it's always asked for all of the CD's or tapes.

When I do a DSPOPT I get:

Any ideas? Thanks.
