  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:
