Re: WRKPTFGRP display has 2 entries for many groups

Why do they show two? Let me tell you why...
Some of us load them on to be applied at the next IPL. If we open a
ticket before then IBM doesn't care about those. They want to know what
you have on now. So, when I do WRKPTFGRP I see:
PTF Group Level Status
SF99776 1 Installed
SF99776 2 Installed
SF99775 10 Installed
SF99775 12 Apply at next IPL
SF99769 1 Apply at next IPL
SF99767 1 Installed
SF99767 2 Apply at next IPL
SF99766 2 Installed
SF99766 3 Installed
SF99759 4 Related group
SF99759 6 Related group
SF99747 12 Apply at next IPL
SF99747 13 Apply at next IPL
...

As you can see by this last one (747) both are delayed so we still cannot
see what the current one is.

There are options in WRKPTFGRP, like
WRKPTFGRP PTFGRPLVL(*INSTALLED)
Even that one gets a little confused when they are both delayed so you
will see
PTF Group Level Status
SF99776 2 Installed
SF99775 12 Apply at next IPL
SF99769 1 Apply at next IPL
SF99767 2 Apply at next IPL

SF99719 49 Apply at next IPL
SF99718 23 Apply at next IPL
SF99717 2 Installed
SF99716 7 Installed
...

Now, if you just want to see the latest one you can try
WRKPTFGRP PTFGRPLVL(*LATEST)
