Re: installing ptf cume packages via *SERVICE/SAVF

If you have downloaded many savf ptf's is there a command that would do a
ptf verification that you have all needed savf's prior to doing the new
installation.

Consider deleting your save files after the fix has been permanently
applied, the system has been saved (SAVSYS), and you no longer want to
distribute the save file to another system. Use the Delete PTF (DLTPTF)
command or the Management Central cleanup function. For instructions,
see _Cleaning up fixes_ <ed: below>

"...
Deleting save files with the DLTPTF command

From the character-based interface, use the Delete Program Temporary
Fix (DLTPTF) command to delete PTF save files and cover letters. Do not
use the Delete File (DLTF) command to delete PTF save files. If you use
the DLTF command, the PTF function will not detect that you deleted the
save file.

Note: Fix save files and cover letters for a previous release are
removed during automatic cleanup if system logs are specified.
