The sequence of events is a little fuzzy from my client but here goes...

About 2 weeks ago the systems admin put on CUME 6178 and I 'assume' the
group and hypers that came with it.
No reported problems for 1 week
System applies all PTFs perm  (not my choice but I'm just trying to find a
cause)
Now at random times several portions of their JBA app hang because there
is what looks like Packed Data in the LDA
I had a analyst at the site tell me she could run the same piece of data
through the suspected app and it would die maybe
10 times in a row, but would then go through and then some other piece of
data causes the *LDA to be corrupt.

Now it is possible that this started when the PTFs went on PERM and nobody
caught it. The Vendor and IBM both have
more or less 'blew off' the admin when he called in.

Anyone seen this sort of thing before? I've got a pgmr trying to trace
when the error happens. They think the data is getting corrupt once in the
*LDA, I tend to believe that it's bad data going in...

Any help or thoughts greatly appreciated
