Per typical, the /context/ of the errors is not available from a copy\paste from an interactive joblog. The spooled joblog produced with LOG(4 0 *SECLVL) is an appropriate means to communicate the details while including the necessary context for the errors. While the inclusion of the error message identifier and reason code are admirable [esp. as compared to what others might have provided], that does not include the additional details like the from\to programs, procs, etc. :-( A lack of the necessary details does not allow for a thorough search for known similar or matching issues.

The error msgOPT1605 rc01 T/QPZINSFX x/04F3 may be unmonitored by that PTF installation program [and likely is considered a defect], but the actual error of concern is with the /optical device/ for which any other attempt to use that device might also fail with the same error... but not effect the function check for a lack of the error being monitored. For example, what happens when WRKIMGCLG is tried instead? I did not read the messages at the following link, but there appear to be some links offered in a a reply in the thread and some IBM i 7.1 configuration settings to check:
