Rob, I'm not sure what you're asking, however if the question is are the
TRs buried into cumulative at some point, I don't know for sure, but I'm
guessing not, maybe someone at IBM could enlighten us on that. My sense of
it is that a cumulative would become way to large if the TRs were buried
into them. That's why they are separate.

Jim,
I know that the MF9920# PTF's are the John the Baptist of the PTF world.
They are available before the actual TR. Is there a marker PTF which is
different than SF99727 or MF9920#? Something I can look up and see what
cume first had the whole TR?

Rob,
If a cumulative and TR come out together it is circumstances not a direct
tie to one another. The TRs generally require the latest cumulative, and
I'm guessing IBM would release a cumulative at the same time, but they are
not necessarily connected.

There is no generic *TR on SNDPTFORD. See WRKPTFGRP.
I wonder if a new cume coincides with each new TR? If so, then ordering
the
cume should cover it. I know they do a resave of the OS at each new TR.
