Re: PTF problems

[Gary Feinstein <gfeinste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neil, 
        Yes, the original PTF was (from what I am told from IBM) a test PTF. 
In order to get the new one working the test PTF must be deleted off the
system.  So basically, in order to get the print range functionality, I
need to get rid of superceeded SF38640.  I will give the Rebuild a try
this weekend.  Thanx a bunch.
Gary

BTW, do I need to delete all 4 files?  I am running V3R7.
