Here's an update - cancel the request for the level 42 ptf. The client has
seen the light and decide to go to level 43.
The former IBM Global Services guy who has been the major roadblock to
staying current got canned yesterday.

Bryan,
While I think this customer is going about updates in all the wrong ways it
would be unethical to put on 43 and remove 43 from WRKPTFGRP.
And what would be the benefit of asking the customer to put on 43 but omit
any PTF's which were on it but not on 42? Sure, you can say you're at level
43, but you really aren't. Which in my mind is about as useful as going
into the file containing this and just putting a 50 in there and be done
with it.
If one had the inclination I might pull a PTF on 43 which was not on 42
which had something scary in the PTF cover letter like "without this PTF
database corruption may occur" and show that to management and ask them how
staying a level behind, when there's a known preventive fix in the next
level, is a good idea?

why not order the latest, then when applying omit the PTF's that were
added to #43.
Looks to be all PTF's with date added of 07/27/17 unless its on the
CUMe or another group.
GL with that.
or maybe you just install 43 the WRKPTFGRP and delete the line with 43.
