But these groups put on maybe 6 months ago, and system ipl's weekly.
Groups were loaded from cd (not web download or web to pc to iSeries).
Also, Service Agent is flaky on this box since the beginning. It will run ok
sometimes, but have never been able to order ptfs thru sndptford (via vpn),
yet sometime Svc Agt will download a ptf & notify qsysopr.
Just have not had time to debug and resolve. I am assuming once a group
is loaded & installed, it's status does not change.

What does the WRKPTFGRP screen status not installed "really" mean (i read 
the help text...)?
I know on this machine I did install SF99503 (database) at same time other 
groups installed (and no errors in ptf menu opt 50 dsplog). Option 5 from 
below screen shows some ptfs installed and some not.
No new products or options added since last ptf group install.
Getting ready to bring this server up to date and wondering what's going 
on...

PTF Group             Level  Status
SF99530                5102  Installed
SF99529                  49  Installed
SF99503                   5  Not installed
SF99298                  13  Not installed
