Re: Latest cume install time

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The apply instructions for *SERVICE say to go to the PTF menu and use
option 8.  Is using the INSPTF with *DLYALL the same thing?  If so, I
prefer that method (the INSPTF command) because I can do that anytime, then
just fire off the IPL from home when I want.

Thanks.

(PS, got Group Dekko's STATUS membership today)
