RE: RMVPTF won't remove PTF

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First undo the delayed apply flag with:
APYPTF 57xxTC1 SELECT(SFnnnnn) DELAYED(*YES) IPLAPY(*NO)
Then try a permanent remove:
RMVPTF 57xxTC1 SELECT(SFnnnnn) RMV(*PERM)

If that doesn't work, try reloading the PTF (LODPTF) and then try the
RMVPTF again.
