Re: Permanently Applying PTF's...

["Henrik Krebs" <hkrebs@xxxxxxxxx>]

The process of aplying PTF's permanently is actually a matter of
_removing_ space objects (old versions of objects saved so they can be
used if you want to  "Remove a program temporary fix" on the system).
Well, yes, some of them are actually not _removed_ but only _moved_
(to QRPLOBJ), so applying permanently should not increase stg. usage,
rather decrease it (but you need an IPL or a CLRLIB QRPLOBJ to get the
full effect).
