A - B side of microcode

["Gerald Magnuson" <magnuson@xxxxxxxx>]

I am getting ready to go to V4R3 in a few weeks, from V3R7.

I perm. applied my PTF's the other week and IPL'ed.  I see that
all my PTF's are perm. applied.  However, I still see that I am
running on the "B" side.  I thought that the "B" side disappeared
when there were no Temp. PTF's (I have no idea where I got this
assumption). 

Does the "B" side only exist when there are Temp. PTF's?

Does the *Panel value change to "A" when all PTF's are *PERM
applied?  Maybe this is why I have found my system to be running
on the "A" side after Perm. applying my PTF's. ( I use to just do a
PWRDWNSYS *IMMED RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(*PANEL), where
now I use "B" as my IPLSRC)
