Enjoy the quiet while you can, there are no new cumes or groups for any release this week. However, regarding updating QMGTOOLS, here is the command that checks for and pulls down the update if necessary, then installs it:
QMGTOOLS/CMPVER NOPROMPT(Y)
You might want to think about putting this command into your scheduler for every Sunday morning.
There are no new defectives this week, but once again here is the most recent defective PTF rundown (The last defective for each release):

Doug–that auto-update of MGTOOLS is a beautiful thing! I have looked for that option several times. When I saw your article, I wondered how I had missed it. When I tried it, I realized that I had to upgrade to a newer version first–it might be helpful to include what version that option is included in. Thanks!
Will do JimD, thanks for catching that –
