                          MF35091, MF38575 and/or MF38658 
                          for V5R3M5 
        LICENSED PROGRAM = 5722999 
        APAR NUMBER: MA33716 
        USERS AFFECTED: All i5/OS users with PTFs MF34369, 
                          MF38536, MF38576, MF39123, 
                          and/or MF39361 applied for V5R3M0.
                          All i5/OS users with PTFs MF35091,
                          MF38575 and/or MF38658 applied 
                          for V5R3M5. 
                          If any of the above PTFs are 
                          temporarily applied, perform the 
                          following command to remove the PTFs:
                          RMVPTF LICPGM (5722999) SELECT 
                          (MFXXXXX) RMV(*PERM) RMVDEP 
                          (*YES). If any of the above PTFs are 
                          permanently applied, a restore of the 
                          Licensed Internal Code will be 
                          required. 
                          LIC PTFs MF34369, MF38536, MF38576, 
                          MF35091, MF38575 and MF38658 are 
                          included in cumulative PTF Package 
                          C6101530.                       
             REASON DEFECTIVE: The Work with disk unit screens 
                          under Dedicated Service Tool (DST) 
                          and System Service Tool (SST) are in
                          English, not the installed National 
                          Language Version (NLV). 
                          Under some conditions, the Work with
                          disk unit screens become unusable 
                          for all languages.
             RECOMMENDATION: The defective PTFs MUST all be removed 
                          before applying the fixing LIC PTFs. 
                          Apply LIC PTF MF39611 when it 
                          becomes available for V5R3M0. 
                          Apply LIC PTF MF39614 when it 
                          becomes available for V5R3M5. 

In that long list of stuff, here's the sentence that has the gotcha: "If 
any of the above PTFs are permanently applied, a restore of the Licensed 
Internal Code will be required." Superseded status also means that it was 
applied permanently. And, the gotcha is that putting on the latest cume 
over the 6101 cume will hose you as well.
