Re: PTF Save Files

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, it's important to remember there is a difference between RMVPTF and
DLTPTF.
RMVPTF will remove a ptf that is temporarily applied.
DLTPTF will trash the save files, cover letters and all the stuff you know
longer need.
Another command to know is UPDPTFINF.  This basically takes ptf save files
you may have copied from one system to another and registers them into the
ptf system.
So what I do every quarterly maintenance is the following:
If I have no test ptfs currently applied I first run:
     APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*YES)
UPDPTFINF
DLTPTF PTF(*ALL)
