I know it is important. That's why I'm trying to get it back in our
process.

Now what you guys are doing to make sure nothing gets in the way
without spending a week reading cover letters?

Thanks

Not reading the cover letters before applying PTFs is like -- "Close

We had some problems with cumm 8183 that contained a series of PTF

fixes format level identifiers for files having TIME or DATE fields.

This caused a lot of troubles because we create new databases each
year
and all the databases use the same programs. So once the program is
compiled all the databases must have the same format level id or we
get
a format level check error (CPF4131)

I suggested that we should read all PTF cover letters and make sure
no
problems would be encountered again.

But It seems like a long shot and I'm not sure it could be done in
time
to stay up to date with latest cumms.

First, I did not find a way to list the PTF that were added in the
last
cumm. Because it is a cumulative update, the list IBM supplies is
the
complete list of ptfs. Many were applied a long time ago.

So I ask, does anybody reads the cover letters? if so how do you
manage
this?

Thanks!
