There are PTF's that correct problems to the Enhanced Upgrade Assistant, both
on the CISC side and the RISC side.  Details of these PTF's are found in the
cover letter SF98151.

For V3R2 the PTF is SF40861.  Once you load and apply this PTF, option
QB010 will run correctly.

There is a step in the roadmap which tells you when to load the EUA on
RISC, and you should load/apply the RISC PTF for EUA once the EUA has been
loaded.  It is an immediate PTF.   You should order this PTF on your CISC
machine and then save it to the media that your RISC machine will support.
This is because at the point in the upgrade process that you want to load
this PTF, ECS will not be available on the RISC machine.

The SF98151 PTF also contains details of any corrections in the roadmap and
any critical save/restore PTF's that are needed.

Remember, when "Following the Roadmap", make sure that it includes the
corrections.
