RE: PTF problems

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe that once a PTF is marked as SUPERSEDED that, as you've found,
removing the one that superseded it will not change it's status.  Is
this actually preventing you from doing what you need to do with other
PTF applications ?
A slip install of OS/400, followed by reloading the latest cum PTF
package and any other individual PTF's, is a pain.  You could try
rebuilding the PTF index, with the system in a DEDICATED mode
preferably, by running:
..+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8...
/* REBUILD OUT OF SYNC PTF INDEX.     */
             DLTF       FILE(QUSRSYS/QAPZPTF4)  /* New for V3R1 */     
             DLTF       FILE(QUSRSYS/QAPZPTF3)                         
             DLTF       FILE(QUSRSYS/QAPZPTF2)                         
             DLTF       FILE(QUSRSYS/QAPZPTF)                          
             CALL       PGM(QPZSYNC) PARM(C)

        Subject:        PTF problems

        I have a problem regarding PTF installation and removal.  It
stems from
        the print range PTF's on V3R7.  Basically, in the PTF special
        instructions for SF45145 it states I need to remove the
superseded test
        PTF SF38640 before install.  Well, when I applied temporarily
SF45145, I
        must have overlooked those instructions.  I then removed that
PTF
        (SF45145) from my system so as to then be able to remove
SF38640.  Now,
        I can't remove the superseded one.  It says it is superseeded
even
        though SF45145 is no longer on my system.  Is there any way to
delete it
        without having to reload the OS?
