Larry, 

Thanks for alerting us. I'll be doing the first of several 7.1 upgrades in 
a few weeks and I'm guessing this will save us a lot of pain.

There is an isssssue with IBM i 7.1 current PTFs. The specific problem 
has not be revealed however the symptom is that during the IPL to apply 
them the system will stop at C900 2967, 'forever'.

To avoid such a 'forever' stoppage you must download, load, and apply 
IMMEDIATE, PTF SI42712.

This PTF is NOT on a Cume or HIPER at this time.

The APAR Error report is innocent enough:

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE46894 :
