I just noticed the command specs *SAVF, while the messages say *IMAGE.  Is that a copy-and-paste error?

You know how the list had a debate on whether or not it was good to remove messages from the joblog?
For example, if I do a CRTPF MYLIB/MYFILE RCDLEN(50) and do a MONMSG on it that it already exists I will clear the message. 
Others find that the root of all evil.  While I am hoping it was because they misinterpreted me and thought I did a generic MONMSG CPF0000 at the top I'm not so sure.
I suspect you're seeing code based on that philosophy.  Or just plain laziness.

Playground LPAR upgraded to V7R3, went smooth.
Ordering the PTFs for this LPAR, via SNDPTFORD.
SNDPTFORD for SF99729 worked fined, downloaded as *SAVF as requested.

SNDPTFORD for SF99730 resulting with CPC8C10 - Optical image is being 
created for download.
  
Cause . . . . . :   You requested an order to be delivered as *IMAGE. 
Optical
  image is being created for download at IBM.  Download process will start 
in 
  0 minutes. CPZ8C15 message will be sent to QSERVICE message queue (or 
the 
  message queue specified in the Service Attributes) when download is  
  complete.
Searching, I found SI60609 is needed to resolve the issue.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas3SI60609
Loaded and applied SI60609.
Resolved the CPC8C10 issue.
Now having other errors.
Downloads failing after 90+% downloaded.
I followed my notes from IBM for fixing service agent, which resolved 
similar errors in the past.

I finally got a good SF99730 download, but I'm concerned with the various

Any thoughts on the group?
