Dan,
It does indeed appear from this that you are running on an 'A' side that
is base V3R2 code. Cum package C8139320 (the TL98139) is not necessarily
the only package that has been applied to this system, but none of the
others shown on your list (other than the 'RE' PTF's that were part of
V3R2 base code) show as Permanently Applied. (By the way, C8139320 was
the LAST cum package issued for V3R2M0).
We can tell that no previous cum packages were permanently applied to the
A side because they all show Superseded, right back to TL96144 (cum
package C6144320). If you had permanently applied previous cum packages
the 'TL9nnnn' indicator PTF's would have show up as Permanently Applied,
as TL97126 does in this example:

TL96219 Superseded None
TL96191 Superseded None
TL96165 Superseded None
TL96144 Superseded None
RE96102 Permanently applied None
You need to scroll through the list to see if any of the 'MF' PTF's show
as Permanently applied.
They are the only ones that would be active when IPL'd from the 'A' side.
I think there was also a question about group PTF's. These are refreshed
on a regular basis so you always get the latest PTF's for a particular
area (like Database, Fax, etc.). These PTF's may make their way onto a
future cumulative PTF package, but they are more current. For example,
you should have Database group PTF SF99105 available to apply after
upgrading to V4R5. In some cases (like the Y2K fixes for V3R2) there were
no future cumulative PTF's packages planned for that release, so the PTF's
in the Group PTF package would never appear on a cum PTF package.
As to whether you can apply additional PTF's at the same time as the
cumulative PTF package, read the instructions for the cumulative package
to see if that is allowed. Sometimes you are instructed to apply the
cumulative package (OR maybe selected PTF/s from it) before applying
additional PTF's. This usually occurs when there are PTF's to fix issued
with the PTF application process itself.

Subject: IPL source: ##MACH#A - Uh oh!
After creating my original post on the cume & group PTFs, I came across an
interesting (?) situation on our V3R2 development box.
DSPPTF shows:
Product ID . . . . . . : 5763999
IPL source . . . . . . : ##MACH#A
Release . . . . . . . . : V3R2M0
Type options, press Enter.
5=Display PTF details 6=Print cover letter 8=Display cover
PTF IPL
Opt ID Status Action
_ TL98139 Temporarily applied None
_ TL98048 Superseded None
_ TL97322 Superseded None
_ TL97231 Superseded None
_ TL97126 Superseded None
_ TL97063 Superseded None
_ TL97014 Superseded None
_ TL96317 Superseded None
_ TL96282 Superseded None
_ TL96233 Superseded None
_ TL96219 Superseded None
_ TL96191 Superseded None
_ TL96165 Superseded None
_ TL96144 Superseded None
_ RE97230 Permanently applied None
_ RE96102 Permanently applied None
_ MF19696 Save file only None
_ MF18809 Temporarily applied None
etc....
Note that the last IPL source shows ##MACH#A. If I interpret correctly
that
the TL* entries are the cume PTFs, would it not appear that this box is
currently running on a totally non-cume'd bare V3R2 OS? No one here has
any
idea how long this box has been running in ##MACH#A; most likely since
cume
98139 was applied.
I suppose I should IPL to ##MACH#B and run that for a week or so before
installing the latest/last cume (subject to the question of whether I
should
even bother - see last post).
Again, all useful advice solicited.
