Roger,
Thanks. But what happens if later for some reason you need to remove a PTF? Rare, perhaps, but it could happen. And if I recall correctly, one cannot remove a permanently applied PTF.
I have heard that it's a good idea to perm apply before release upgrades. Not pressed for disk space right now (64% after downloading the groups and cume).

Jerry,
Here is what I use:
APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL) APY(*PERM) DELAYED(*YES) IPLAPY(*YES)
I always apply everything *PERM before doing the next set of groups, hipers, or cume.

Subject: How To Permanently Apply PTF's
I have a couple of PTF's that say that some preceding PTF's (which I already have installed) must be permanently applied. I don't recall ever permanently applying a PTF (at least not deliberately). Is it just a matter of running the APYPTF command
Apply Program Temporary Fix (APYPTF)
Type choices, press Enter.
Product . . . . . . . . . . . . LICPGM
Release . . . . . . . . . . . . RLS *ONLY
PTF numbers to select . . . . . SELECT *ALL
+ for more values
PTF numbers to omit . . . . . . OMIT
+ for more values
Extent of change . . . . . . . . APY *TEMP
Delayed PTFs . . . . . . . . . . DELAYED *NO
IPL apply options: IPLAPY
Apply at unattended IPL . . . *YES
Prerequisite lic int code . . *APYPERM
Apply requisite PTFs . . . . . . APYREQ *NO
filling in the PTF numbers in the Select option and changing the Apy option to *Perm?
