Rob,
Yea, had I been thinking I may have caught the command name style
but have now used the command - output requires knowing "PTF Group"
by number which leaves me out of school.
Ops mgr says he'll get the required group this week on test so the 8 ball
may be removed from "play".

Gary,
I had to read between the lines on your last email. Let me try some translating from English.
By "prod and test parts" I'll assume you meant production and test partitions.
If you got a file not found message on group_ptf_info then you probably are behind the 8 ball on ptf groups and should upgrade. In that case you will have to fall back to Buck's suggestion.
However, Buck was suggesting that you get out of sql and get to an IBM i
5250 command line. From that command line enter WRKPTFGRP He was not suggesting that you try: select * from wrkptfgrp If the IBM i 5250 command line is totally foreign to you, or, you are forbidden from accessing the command line except for the most rudimentary commands, as in 'limited capabilities, yes', then you could try IBM Navigator for System i, either the fat client or the 2001 port browser client. There's a way to look up PTF information there.

Thanks Rob, Thanks Buck,
I ran that select on prod and test parts and both return *FILE not found
tried FROM group_ptf_info and FROM wrkptfgrp ?
I'll suggest those two links to ops mgr
Also, my user prof has all except *SECADM

Now you do:
select *
from group_ptf_info
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ibmi/library/i-db2_catalog/index.html?ca=dat
I think this should be part of the "system catalog" as defined in:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_72/db2/rbafzcatalog.htm?lang=en
But IBM thinks this view should be referenced by:
IBM i 7.2>Database>Performance and query optimization>IBM i Services>PTF
Services>GROUP_PTF_INFO
Yeah, if I was looking up a sql way to see my PTF group for TCP/IP I would
definitely think that Database Performance and query optimization would be
my go to reference. NOT!

Chuck,
Thanks for your insight.
I failed to think of including that link but will be more thorough in
future posts.
Also, as posted to Rob, I now know the partition I am testing on is not
yet to
the ptf level spec'd in Michael's article, and our production part not be
for a
month or more . . . and, as you see, I don't know how to verify ptf levels
. . .

Still trying to test my SQL procedure I created last week.
From Four Hundred Guru article
Dynamic Compound Statements in DB2 for i

I'm trying to run the following from Run Sql Scripts:
BEGIN
DECLARE doc_num CHARACTER(11);
call swiretest/fsp975dn ('82 ',1140627,'4200',doc_num); END ;
; This results in:
SQL State: 42601
Vendor Code: -104
Message: [SQL0104] Token DOC_NUM was not valid.
This was run against our test partition which is V7R1M0, with
"recent" PTF's I'm doing everything I can to avoid embedded SQL,
wanting to learn the easier/faster way to create and test SQL
procedures.
Any chance you left out some stuff in the beginning? Like
Create Procedure
MyProcedureName (list of parameters)
Language SQL
and then your Begin and stuff...
Probably best to read the article [why a link was not included in the
OP.?.?] referenced in the OP, for why the CREATE PROCEDURE might be
unnecessary, for the scripted SQL:
<
http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg011514-story02.html>
The OP might want to try the same test script in a RUNSQLSTM to test if
there is any difference; perhaps also, to define and verify "recent", esp.
with regard to the stated minimum [from the article] of DB2 group PTF
level 26.
