ChangeMan ZMF 8.3 is the first release to ship all components in PDSE format. Releases prior to 8.3 shipped product libraries in PDS format. However, for a number of years hotfixes supplied for all releases have been shipped in PDSE format. This can lead to users encountering the following type of error when attempting to TSO RECEIVE a PDSE-formatted hotfix executable module (i.e. program object) directly into a PDS-formatted execution library:

INMR060I RECEIVE command terminated. Output dataset unusable. +
INMR158I A Program Library or member can only be received into a Program Library or an empty PDSE.
***

To circumvent this issue users can either receive the hotfix directly into an existing PDSE or omit the target dataset entirely and allow the TSO RECEIVE command to allocate a new PDSE to host the new or updated component(s). The received program objects can then be copied to the required target PDS dataset using IBM utilities (e.g. ISPF option 3.3, IEBCOPY, etc.).
