Re: Applying PTFs *PERM prior to new Cumulative/Groups

[Robert Clay <zreclay@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's 'kinda' what I was looking for. When I prompt the command, it 
requires all of this:

APYPTF LICPGM(*ALL)
       APY(*PERM)
       DELAYED(*YES)
       IPLAPY(*YES *APYPERM)

That seems reasonable, so I'm going ahead with it.

Then, I'll load do the regular GO PTF option 8 to load PTFs and have 
them ALL apply at the next IPL.


As to the CHGIPLA, it's an unattended backup/IPL so it's "go" or "no go".

Thanks for the help!
