Scott,

I load PTFs weekly on my V4R4 machine every weekend.  At work we keep 
do the same on Thursday for our V4R3 machine.  We have been doing this 
for years without a problem.  IBM will mark and pull defects pretty quickly so 
you should be safe without any other form of warning if you are waiting a few 
weeks.  Last Friday's was the first time we have had to IPL with a problem due 
to a defective PTF.  We got a call today and MF23398 is now flagged as 
defective.

Is there anyone on this list who has a test machine and tends to put Hiper PTF's
on as soon as they come out? (Then applies them to production boxes after aging
them for a while).

If so, it would be interesting to have such people post something like "the
Hipers from 12/12/99 have been tested for a week and no adverse problems have
been found", etc.

Then the rest of us with only production boxes will have some idea that others
have installed and tested the Hipers before we apply them.

Any takers?
