I found the SYSTOOLS_GROUP_PTF_DETAILS function to (basically) query a
table with all the PTFs included in groups from IBM. Is there a way to pull
the description of the individual PTFs? I've been looking and haven't found
one (yet).

What I'm trying to do is create a file of PTFs that are in groups that we
don't have installed and include a description of the PTF to include in my
documentation requesting authorization to apply the PTFs.

And yes, I'm cleaning up a messy system. :-)
