RE: PTF Disc 5 of 4 ???

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe it contains the PTFs for less common program products.  We
didn't use disc 5 on either of our systems.  I don't have the discs in
front of me anymore but IIRC you can insert it in your PC and look at
the folder structure.  They'll be named 5722xxx or something similar
that reveals the relative program products.

Subject: PTF Disc 5 of 4 ???


Greetings,

I've got a PTF question and any thoughts would be appreciated.  We're at
V5R1.  Last week a cum PTF order that I had placed came in.  The cum
consisted of 5 CD's all labeled C3175510_xx (xx=01, 02, etc. thru 05).
When I did the GO PTF option #8 and selected all PTF's it displayed 1 of
4, 2 of 4, etc as they were loading.  It never used the 5th CD.  Is it
likely that this CD has the cover letters, additional PTF's, or it's
just a coaster they sent as a promotion?  I've loaded PTF's before but
as long as I can remember it's always asked for all of the CD's or
tapes.

When I do a DSPOPT I get:

Any ideas?  Thanks.
