I don't think you can order anything else when you order a Cume from Fix Central; at least, I've tried and never been able to do so. It always takes me two orders.

The cume set should be relatively easy to identify; I think it comes down as SF99540 (for V5R4). The groups will all have the same name as on of the groups, such as SP99114. I installed them into the image catalogue the way that Roger indicated. When I did a verify, I specified SORT(*No). But the PTF Apply does its own verify and, apparently, does a sort. I say that because, after the re-IPL to apply the PTF's, I noticed that the image catalogue (I put the cume and the groups into a single image catalogue) had the images in a different order than the order in which I had added them. It would seem that the only way to ensure the order you want is to define two image catalogues and apply them one at a time. But, as I said, I had the cume and groups in one catalogue, and the order that the PTF apply used (whatever that was) has always worked - so far. Someone told me at a COMMON session that the apply process somehow knew what was superseded, a prereq, etc., and put the PTF's in the right order - but maybe I'm just on a chocolate high from the fudge I've been scarfing down today.

Thanks.

How would you tell on a CD (other than reading the physical human readable
stuff)? IOW, load the images into an image catalog and if you can figure
it out by looking at it as if it was a CD then you're in.

I order the cume separate from a bulk of the groups.
