RE: Image Catalogue - Old BIN's

Vern,

Thanks for the tip; didn't think about that. Running TextPad over them revealed some mention of certain APAR's and the fix numbers. Cross-referencing that to the cover letters revealed that these were PTF's for the ANZOBJCVN process that I downloaded back in January, applied to our backup system, pushed to the production system (which is what I was looking at) and, obviously, never got around to applying to it.

Remind me that I owe you a drink at one of the iSocial's at the Reno conference.

Hi Jerry

You COULD use a CD burner on your PC to put an image on a CD. Then you could look at the contents, if you really want to find out. I've never seen these names - maybe they are generated from some PTF download process like through Management Central or something. Or you could just try putting a 5 on one of them and see what is there - if need be, use F15 to change the CCSID you are using to look at it - it is too much fun, my friend!

I just downloaded a single PTF (per a service call to IBM) to the IFS directory
for my image catalogues. I noticed that there are a couple of bin's in the
directory (S2141V01.bin and S7818V01.bin). There are no txt files or anything
else in the directory (except the PTF that I just downloaded). I googled and
midranged both [S2141 only just to expand the possibilities] and didn't get any
hits.

I usually whack the images after applying PTF's, but I either failed to do so or
never got around to applying whatever is in these bin's (having a senior moment
here, obviously). Is there any way to tell what is in these bin's sans an
accompanying txt file? I know that I can just load the one PTF into the image
catalogue and apply it at this time, but I'm curious what these might be.

Thanks.
