RE: PTF Image Catalogue Order

Roger

I keep mine as short as possible, f1.bin etc, less chance of typos :-)

Jerry,

What I've always done is rename the images to SF#####.01, etc. - using
2 digits for the sequence before I add them to the catalog. I also put
the groups in a different image catalog as I install them separately.

It's just easier to keep track of them that way for me.

I ordered the latest Cume for V5R4, which contained fifteen [15]

images. I

did the ADDIMGCLGE in the order of the images, such as SF99540_1.bin

first

and SF99540_15.bin last. I, also, downloaded some other groups and

added

these after the Cume.

Next I ran the CPYPTFCVR procedure, which automatically does a

VFYIMGCLG of

Type(*PTF).

Using the WRKIMGCLG I see that the order of the images is:
SF99540_11
SF99540_12
SP99540_13
SF99540_14
SF99540_15
SF99114_1 (through _8)
SP99540_1 (through _10)

I "think" that I recall from a COMMON session that the PTF apply

process is

smart enough (somehow) to put the PTFs in the proper order. If I

remembered

that correctly, the order of the images shouldn't matter.

But did I get it right?

Reordering the images probably wouldn't do a bit of good because, when
using image catalogues, the PTF process does a verify again, anyway,

so it

would probably just sort 'em back to the sequence above.
