why fix it Was: iAccess CLient SOlutions 5250 "quirk"

Sorry Paul, could have sworn it was you who kept saying "if it ain't
broke, don't fix it". Didn't think you were paraphrasing someone else.

How to back out a cume: Perform a full system save PRIOR to loading PTF's
on. Even those set for delayed apply. Then you can always following the
instructions commonly used to put on stuff like V5R4M5 or 6.1.1 (or GA
code over top of beta code):
"Replacing Licensed Internal Code and i5/OS of the same version and
release"
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_i5_54/rzahc/upgradesameversion.htm
but use your save media.

For other releases:

Of course, if you're also concerned about LPP's other than lic and OS
there are more steps than that. (like backing out the cume stuff from
compilers and whatnot for example).

I have done some extensive
SAVLICPGM to save file
DLTLICPGM
test
RSTLICPGM from save file

When I was testing how some stuff would act without Java 6.
