Hi all,

I'm going to setup a testing environment with FP4 U488486 but the FP4
U488486 is withdrawn from the support page. Do anyone still have V8 FixPak 4
(U488486, not 4a) for AIX5 to share? Thanks!

Ben

Stupid question, maybe, bat why do you want FP4 and not FP4a? FP4a is the
same as FP4 but with some additional security patches applied on top of it.
So I'd like to understand why you want to avoid those patches.

FP4a contains only a fix for this APAR:

JR19507 SELECT DISTINCT ON SINGLE INT MIGHT CAUSE INCORRECT RESULTS

I am setting up the testing environment to mimic the production environment
and our production environment is using FP4 now.
