Re: Question about PTF's V5R4

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oooh, *SERVICE, not my favorite way to do a CUME. Part of what I like 
about image catalogs is the verification step. It's always been possible 
for there to be PTF *SAVFs in QGPL that are not known to the system, yes 
they can be found with UPDPTFINF but who remembers to do that?

How is your firmware managed? HMC or by PTF?

What do you see in DSPFMWSTS?

Is the screen below the entire output of WRKPTFGRP? If so you may be 
'somewhat behind' on PTFs.  Can you send the first screen from DSPPTF 
(999) and then press Enter and also send the first screen of SS1?
