RE: QSYSDIR Save Files

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Not every licensened program product is at the same release of the OS. For 
instance, we are running V5R3 of OS/400.  But if I do a DSPSFWRSC, hit 
F11=Display libraries/releases I can see that a number of these products 
may be a lower release.  This isn't necessarily a problem, IBM just 
doesn't update every lpp with every release of OS/400.

Could this be your issue - or do you have old ptfs for 5722SS1 itself?

RE: QSYSDIR Save Files






Yep, that's the ticket.  Applying these PTF's permanently does delete 
these save files.  I am a little concerned about randomly perm applying 
PTF's based on this criteria though.

Strangely several of these save files are leftover from releases 4.5 and 
5.1 (we're on 5.2.)  I guess I'll just have to weed those out manually.

Thanks,

I wonder if applying your ptf's permanently will delete them?  I think 
this is how it works.  Let's say I have an object called QCMDEXC.  Then I 
apply a ptf SI88888 which has a fix for it.  The first thing it does is it 

backs up that object(s) into the save file QSI88888S1 or some such thing. 
Then it puts the new object in the system.  Because if I do a RMVPTF 
SI88888 it has to restore the object(s) fixed by that ptf.  And it 
restores them from a save file.  If you apply them permanently you can no 
longer do a RMVPTF.  One of the reasons should be because you no longer 
have that save file to restore the older objects from.
