System applied unloaded PTFs



Had in interesting one Friday night.

On 7.1

As of Friday morning, I had TR 6 set to be applied via a Friday night IPL I
would do from home, as well as a few other PTFs that were previously
downloaded and set to apply.

I decided to download all the other groups I could think of via SNDPTFORD
on Friday and leave them as "Save File Only." Then, if I got a wild hair
over the weekend, I could load and apply those as well with another IPL.

Lo and behold, when I did that IPL Friday night, not only did it do a
double IPL (which I was sorta expecting), it also loaded and applied all
those PTFs (100+) that had been in Save File Only status. Note that I did
no LODPTF, APYPTF, or INSPTF after downloading them.

I did not expect those newly downloaded ones to apply. I hadn't even read
the cover letters, which I usually do via DSPPTFCVR *NOTAPY.

Is what happened (applying those in Save File Only status) what the rest of
you would have expected to happen?

Thanks.
