Issue/Introduction:



When running a SMPE Receive of DB2 Tools PTF's the following messages are repeated in the output, what is the cause?

GIM20311E ** THERE IS A SYNTAX ERROR IN THE CONTROL STATEMENT AT COLUMN 03. 
GIM56704E ** THERE IS AN ERROR IN AN UNKNOWN MCS IN SMPHOLD. 

JCL had the following DD's:
//SMPPTFIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DB2SMPE.CA.SYSVPTF.BUCKET 
//SMPHOLD  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DB2SMPE.CA.SYSVPTF.BUCKET 

Environment:

Release:
Component: INS

Resolution:

The SMPHOLD DD should point to the dataset created from downloading the Error Holddata, not the PTF file.  The hilvl.SAMPJCL contains jobs that need to run prior to receiving PTF's:

  DBM1HOLD:  Downloads the Error Holddata
  DBM7RCH: Receives the Error Holddata

After running the above jobs and correcting the SMPHOLD dataset, the RECEIVE of the PTF's will succeed.
