Yes - QAPZPTF4/3/2 are logicals, over the physical QAPZPTF.

Now, it shouldn't be absolutely necessary to run this in a restricted
state, IF you can be sure that no one else will try to run any PTF
related commands, and just to be sure nothing from the LICPCM menu
either, while the rebuild is running.

        Neil, 
                Yes, the original PTF was (from what I am told from IBM)
a test PTF. 
        In order to get the new one working the test PTF must be deleted
off the
        system.  So basically, in order to get the print range
functionality, I
        need to get rid of superceeded SF38640.  I will give the Rebuild
a try
        this weekend.  Thanx a bunch.
        Gary

        BTW, do I need to delete all 4 files?  I am running V3R7.
