Re: V4R5 UPGRADE questions - 2nd -- MIDRANGE-L

Well, I've never seen the REyyddd entries before.  Is it possible that they
are the cume PTF entries for V4R3?  Does it matter that this box is in Canada?
 Can anybody check?  I can't imagine that we don't have any cume PTFs loaded
on this box.  But I've been surprised by other gotcha's around here though, so
it's not beyond a doubt.

i would say you have no cum ptfs applied. The marker ptf starts with "TL",
followed
by 2 digit year & julian day. This has been true for many releases.
