RE: Action required on applied PTFs

["Burns, Bryan" <Bryan_Burns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rob!  Now I understand!  I had read the help text before but the second sentence for YES didn't sink in till just now.
I must say, I believe most of IBM's iseries documentation is well written but I don't always comprehend the nuances on first pass.

Action required - Help

Yes 
    This PTF needs an action to make it active.  This field 
    indicates that an action was necessary, not that the action is 
    still needed.  Check the cover letter to determine the action. 
 
No 
    This PTF required no action to make it active. 
 
Update 
    This PTF requires an action to make it active.  The Action 
    pending field is updated when the action is performed.  Check 
    the cover letter to determine the action; you can also use 
    option 10, Pending actions, on the Display PTF Details display.
