RE: Apparently Hosed V5R3 Install - Resolution

Bill,

Thanks for the follow-up. I, too, have a system library list with a user library above QSYS, which contains modified (defaults) for some commands. Never had a (known) issue before, but it seems prudent to add a step to my project plan that specifies changing the list order before applying PTF's.

Thanks.

After spending over an hour with Software Support, we finally pinpointed
the culprit: there was a user library ahead of QSYS which contained a
number of commands. In this case, the important command was CrtUsrPrf.
One of the PTF's, and a verrry early one at that, specified a
parameter that did not exist at V5R1, thus the PTF blew up since the
process returned an error in the process. Once the library was moved to
the bottom of the System Library List, I was able to subsequently apply
the PTF(s).

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Bill
