Hi, Albert:

Try the following:

1. download the CUMulative PTF package (as a CD image) containing this
PTF you are after

2. burn the image onto a "real" CD (since V4R5 does not support image
catalogs)

3. insert the CD into one AS/400 that is running V4R5, and issue LODPTF
to load the desired PTF(s) from the media (CD)
(at this point, you should now have the "cover letter" (in a
physical file member) and the save file for the PTF, loaded on that V4R5
system)

4. issue the CPYPTF command to copy the PTF to another "destination" for
example, a save file of your choice

HTH,

Mark

"IF" you can get the SNDPTFORD to work then I would run a WRKPRB
Problem ID Status Problem Description
0906349210 ANSWERED Fix request
5=Display details
F9=Display PTFs
PTF ID Requested PTF Save File
SI32889 Yes Yes

It may bring down more than one.

If you have to use the frisbee then check out CPYPTF.

Hi, Albert:

If you can order the PTF via SNDPTFORD directly from a machine that is
running V4R5, then it should directly download that PTF as a save file.

Unless you are talking about a CUMulative PTF package, in which case the
only option is to download the CD image.

Once you load the CDs and "load" the PTFs (but not necessarily "apply"
them yet) on an existing V4R5 system, you should then have access to the
individual PTF save files contained within the CUMe package. You should
then be able to copy them individually, etc., eg. using the CPYPTF
command ... type GO PTF and look at option 3 or prompt the CPYPTF command.

Good luck,

Mark S. Waterbury

I need to download a PTF for V4R5. The only option I seem to have is to

download it as an image catalog file, but V4R5 doesn't support image
catalogs. Is there another way to get this PTF in a save file? I need to
apply it to 175 systems so I would prefer not to order it on CD.

Thanks,

Albert
