The recommended process for obtaining maintenance for any Mainframe Product is via the SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval (RECEIVE ORDER) .
Documentation can be found in this section.

This document illustrates how to download PTF's in Support Online and how to process the file if the Internet Service Retrieval is not being used.

Example JCL to download SCART0 to a USS directory:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//JOBCARD*
//ESDGET   EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='(EXIT=08'
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTPUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT    DD *
ftpdownloads.ca.com

OEmFMf9DREW/VCJ8+QKhkA==         <<<<  PW from the Order
BINARY
get  scart0.zip '/a/xxxx/MNT20/scart0.zip' (REP   <<<  directory where file is placed
QUIT
//
See scart0.zip in the USS directory that was specified. 

4. Next UNZIP scart0.zip using CAUNZIP. 

CAUNZIP example JCL:
---------------------------------

//jobcard
//OUTCLASS SET OUTCLASS='*'
//CAUNZIP EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=10,REGION=0M
//ZIPRPT   DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS,RECFM=FBA
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS
//STDOUT   DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS
//STDERR   DD SYSOUT=&OUTCLASS
//SYSTSIN DD *
 CAUNZIP ZIPPATH(/a/xxxxx/MNT20) -  <<< USS directory where scart0 resides
 zipfilE(scart0.zip)         -
 javapath(/sys/java64bt/v8r0m0/usr/lpp/java/J8.0_64) -
 TEMPHLQ(Hilvl.USER.CAUNZIP)
---------------- 
Update and run CAUNZIP, control cards: 
CAUNZIP ZIPPATH(/a/xxxx/MNT20) - 
000017 zipfilE(scart0.zip) - 
000018 javapath(/sys/java64bt/v8r0m0/usr/lpp/java/J8.0_64) - 

5. CAUNZIP creates this directory in the USS: 
Creating directory '/a/xxxx/MNT20/scart0/SMPNTS/'. 
(Has SMPPTFIN directory) 

The output has a Summary report with example JCL for the RECEIVE.
