Re: CUM PTF

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

... and group PTF's are never listed on a cum, however there may be 
overlapping ptfs which appear on both the cum and the group.  The members 
of a group PTF change week by week.  Unlike a cum which has a listed 
group of PTF's at a certain time.  Compare it to SF99xxx where xxx is 
the version of OS/400 you are on, like SF99440.  This changes, not as 
often as a group (unless seriously defective), but it does change.  Don't 
compare it to c99313440 which is a cum at a particular date.  Some, if 
not all, of the groups do maintain a data area on the system so that you 
may check the level of the group, (just learned that this week).  For 
example look at:

Data area . . . . . . . :   SF99104                            
  Library . . . . . . . :     QSYS                             
Type  . . . . . . . . . :   *CHAR                              
Length  . . . . . . . . :   50                                 
Text  . . . . . . . . . :                                      
                                                               
           Value                                               
Offset      *...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5 
    0      'Group PTF#: SF99104-06  V4R4M0 11/24/1999         '
