Re: V7R1 to V7R3 upgrade prep - perm apply PTFs

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No. It gets ride of the saved code that is kept allowing you to remove 
the PTF. It's likely that will be a save file but in the library where 
the PTF was applied. The save files in QGPL that are used to apply PTFs 
with *SERVICE or DEV(*SAVF) must be cleaned up manually.
