Step 4. Accept a previously applied APAR or PTF (optional)

If there is any APAR or PTF that you applied earlier but did not accept, and the earlier APAR or PTF is not causing problems in your installation, accept the applied service from either the SMP/E dialogs in ISPF or by using a batch job.

Accepting the earlier service allows you to use the SMP/E RESTORE command to return to your current level if you encounter a problem with the service that you are currently applying. You can do this either from the SMP/E dialogs in ISPF or by using a batch job similar to CAZWACPT in hlq.SCAZSAMP.
