Engineering change entries

Complete one row of fields for each internal code change you want to apply the task to, then click OK to continue the task.
Note: Fields are initialized with default entries for EC numbers and change levels derived from previous entries, if any. If you do not want to use the default entries, click Clear to discard them. All entry fields will be cleared to allow entering other EC numbers and change levels.

EC Number
Enter the EC number of the internal code change you want the task you selected to apply to.

Then use the applicable fields in the same row to identify the change levels of the internal code change you want the task to apply to.

Change Level
Enter the number of the last change level you want the task you selected to apply to. Or enter ALL to apply the selected task to all applicable change levels.

The task will be applied to applicable change levels of the internal code change, identified by the adjacent EC number, from the current applicable change level to the change level you specify.
Note: This field does not display if you selected to retrieve internal code changes to a removable medium.

The applicable change levels and their range depends on the task you selected:

Accept
Applies to installed and activated change levels in the range from the lowest change level up to and including the change level you specify.
Check dependencies: Accept
Applies to installed and activated change levels in the range from the lowest change level up to and including the change level you specify.
Check dependencies: Install
Applies to retrieved change levels in the range from the lowest change level up to and including the change level you specify.
Check dependencies: Remove
Applies to installed change levels in the range from the highest change level down to and including the change level you specify.
Delete
Applies to retrieved and removed change levels in the range from the highest change level down to and including the change level you specify.
Remove
Applies to installed change levels in the range from the highest change level down to and including the change level you specify.
Retrieve
Applies to change levels available from the source in the range from the lowest change level up to and including the change level you specify.
Note: You will need the assistance of your IBM service representative or your IBM Support Center to identify a specific internal code change by its EC number and change level.
