Applying ptf's with IPL *FULL

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

When you do a GO PTF, and take the option 8 to apply your groups, cume's,
etc, there is an option there that defaults to *SYS.  *SYS should use what
you have in CHGIPLA.  *FULL should do full hardware diagnostics.  I figure,
what the heck, we only IPL every 8 weeks, and that is to apply ptf's.  Why
not do the *FULL and get the hardware testing.  It's on a weekend, so if
something dies IBM will rush to the rescue, and we'll have plenty of time.

I can't see where this should adversely affect the applying of PTF's, (or
IBM wouldn't have stuck it on the screen, right?).  Anyone counter this?
