Re: determine v5r4 ptf level

thanks Rob. that is perfect.

Turns out the system I am working on has no PTFs applied. ( In the defense
of the person here responsible for it, he has a stack of DVDs to load.
Looks like an all day, system down process. )

thanks,

Compare that with:

On your DSPPTF your RE* entries stand for REsave. You can compare that
with the "Marker PTF" at
http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/resave/v5r4.html

On DSPPTF 5722999 your highest TL* ptf number will be your cume. Compare
that with

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/2d3aff1c6b4d6ce086256453000d971e/9d2cbc7b715949d48625741f006f2b3a?OpenDocument
available at
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/ALLPSPBYREL
You can do a DSPPTF 5722SS1 and compare the highest TC* ptf number for
that same cume.

Good to see your 5722999 is at V5R4M5 and not at V5R4M0. That opens up
more hardware options for your next upgrade.
