Re: 7.2 Python PTFs FYI

I looked at the cover letters for the PTFs noted; they seemed to be

My confidence is low that the description of a given PTF closely tracks
what that PTF delivers. IBM seem to have got... terse of late.

As to the hundreds of PTFs you mentioned - where did you actually see these
? Did the PTF numbers show up in the PTF order or somewhere else ?.

I was an idiot (nothing new there) and did the SNDPTFORD interactively,
thinking I was getting a small number of PTFs. The status messages on
the command line kept flashing one 7.1 PTF after another; they were all
in the job log. Clearly they were unneeded by the actual 6 PTFs which
made up the fixes noted on the web page, because neither the LOD nor
APYPTF tried to load or apply them.

Paul noted:
If you let the default for
Check PTF . . . . . . . . . . . *No ;
instead of changing to *YES,
It's possible that the PTF order will include all
PTF for all languages, resulting in hundreds of PTFs.

That's apparently the answer. I need to learn to read.
