Joe,

Just be sure you remove the temporary "test" PTF, before you attempt to install the "real" live version of the same PTF, once IBM issues a "real" PTF for the problem.  Otherwise, you will have problems going forward.

HTH,

Ha!  Good point!

I expect to get this partition up to TR6 relatively soon so I'd better
get that note in place...

It does tend to vex IBM when one has applied one of those permanently and then find out it needs enhancement but IBM can't reissue it since you've applied it perm and they have to generate a new one.
Suggest you create a calendar entry to remind you to omit that one before your next scheduled round of PTFs, unless they change it from test to live before then.  If you're like me and run APYPTF ...perm, UPDPTF... and DLTPTF... before ordering new ones.

Right you are!  I have a minor worry in that IBM told me to make sure to ONLY apply this temporarily (in case it's broken) but during the apply, a superseded PTF was permanently applied.  But I don't think that's an issue, and hopefully the PTF isn't broken, anyway.  :)

So where is my PTF?
I'm pretty sure it was uploaded to your system such that it can be
loaded using the LODPTF command with the DEV(*SERVICE) parameter.
