RE: A worried New comer with a CUM install. -- MIDRANGE-L

OOps - I Forgot to mention that.
To check for any PTF's that you SHOULDN'T install when you're ready to
apply the package, use SNDPTFORD SF98370
(last 3 digits change base on Version./Release/Modification level).
Check the cover letter that's downloaded for any important PTF's you
should maybe download and apply (you can do this before you start
loading the cum package and do a LODPTF, and they will be applied with
the cum package), and any PTF's that are listed as defective that you
SHOULDN'T apply (follow PTF cum package install instructions to OMIT the
PTF's, unless there's a fixing PTF that you can download and do a LODPTF
on beforte you load the cum package PTF's.).
