Re: Just downloaded a PTF group, but now what . . . ?

V5R4 was the same as 6.1. One PTF downloaded and applied immediately.

I don't think they added a new parameter, but added a value to what could be
in that parameter. *ISO and *ALL were valid before, from what I read of the
cover letter, but *ALL also tried to load the .TXT files as images. The
work around was to rename the .BIN files as .ISO and use the *ISO parm.

I agree that making that one change should not require a delayed PTF. There
must be something more missing.

The 6.1 ptf downloads just one ptf and goes on fine.
The 7.1 ptf downloads numerous SS1 and 999 ptf's, of which some are
delayed. I fail to see how adding one parameter to an api like this
should require an IPL.

Just tried it and yes it does know to use the existing file. I did not
get
any new file in that subdirectory.

Sounds cool. I assume it knows to do a TOFILE(*FROMFILE)? Logically

that

makes sense since you do not tell it what directory the file is coming
from - it has to get that from the catalog definition.

Bryan,

That is the best thing I have learned this week. This makes my PTF
programming much easier.

Thanks!

If you happen to be on V5r4, V6.1 or V7.1 there is a new API that will
help with loading of image catalogs.

CALL PGM(QVOIFIMG) PARM('MyImageCatalog' '*BIN' 0)
-or-
CALL PGM(QVOIFIMG) PARM('MyImageCatalog' '*ISO' 0)

V7.1 = SI40971
V6.1 = SI40473
V5r4 = SI40603

Here's a shell script you can use to load multiple volumes to the

image

catalog. Doing that by hand is a little on the tedious side too:
