Y2K Group PTF Potential Problem

[franz99@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

IBM has been updating the Group PTF for Y2K recently, and recently
the shipment has been 2 cd's. Weeks ago I loaded the ptfs on 10 AS/400s.

Each machine, some at V3R7, some V4R2 only asked for the 1st cd. Assumed

no ptfs on the 2nd cd related to my machines. Today I checked the IBM
site for
new changes, and found the following text in the PSP "Both media volumes
included
in this order should be treated as separate single PTF orders. There is
not a prompt
to load the second volume." I must have missed that in the PSP several
weeks ago
(I did lose my glasses a while ago), or it just wasn't there.
Today I updated several machines with the 2nd cd, and indeed, more ptfs
were loaded.
I would recommend that anyone who has not loaded the Y2K Group PTFs
recently
do so. There seems to be a number of recent additions. The label on the
2nd cd,
labelled "2 of 2" will not automatically load after the 1st cd (like
every other ptf
process I have ever seen from IBM). See the site AS400service.ibm.com
for
Info Apars & PSP. The Group PTF SF99200 is for V3R7, V4R1,2,3,4. SF99201
is
for V3R2.
