Environment

Z/OS

Resolution

The PTF is corrupt. When the PTF was offloaded to the clients desk top and then uploaded to the mainframe it somehow became corrupt.
 
The client had to SMP/E reject the PTF  in this case RO93978 from the SMP environment to remove the corrupted version. Then the client offloaded a fresh copy of the fix from the CA Web site. Then the fix was uploaded to the mainframe (BINARY) into a sequential Z/OS dataset with a DCB of RECFM=FB, LRECL=80,BLKSIZE 3200.
This sequential file that contained the PTF was successfully received and applied.
