Re: V5R3 upgrade with CPD3DB3

Just do a GO LICPGM, take option 11 to install, and then select the
programs to install.  If one is required, it will already have a 1 in the
field so it is selected.  So, slect all that are currently installed and
those new to V5R3 that you want, and then hit enter, enter the name of the
optical drive and run thru the CDs as it asks for more).

  I think you will start with the CD that is B2924_02.

Bet you thought Santa had a nicer present than this for you, but you
should be fine.  Remember, after you install all to load the PTFs, and
allow the system to IPL so that INZSYS completes.
