Thanks for the quick reply Dr!
They don't have an HMC. Just one partition and a green screen console. I
couldn't get the image catalogs to pass the verify step even after
downloading the 15 parts several times.

Subject: Re: Question about PTF's V5R4
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?

I ordered the latest CUM from fix central, SF99540. I tried creating the

I then tried the download direct to system. It died with about 20%
download
remaining, I started it back up and it resumed, and finished.
I did option #8 to install the cum from *SERVICE. It created a 480 page
job
log, with many messages that PTF's were temporarily applied, but the final
message is Errors occurred while applying PTF's.
DSPPTF *ACTRQD shows a message that server firmware level mismatch. Is
that
my problem?
WRKPTFGRP shows this.

It's been awhile since I've been in charge of applying group PTF's and I
never had these kind of problems before. How can I find out what I need
to
do? Any help would be appreciated.
