Re: Why i??? NEED YOUR INPUT

  The suggestion that "all LIC PTFs on the IBM i also require a 
restart" is _false_.  For example, consider the following PTF cover 
letter, MF47763 - Licensed Internal Code.  The text for that PTF 
suggests quite clearly that "THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR 
DELAYED."  Immediate-apply PTFs do not require a restart of the 
system, however special instructions and activation instructions may 
suggest subsystem, [application, xx, yy] server, and\or job restart 
requirements where code\fix changes would otherwise not be visible 
to existing processes.
