OK... So it's not just me (something I'm missing).
Thanks for the info, but that only helps with PTFs ON on my system (not for a product or PTF not on my system).
Some context:
With the recent log4j and such, I've subscribed to IBM Security Bulletins (if you haven't, I highly recommend it). I'll paste one below.
I receive these for all IBM i products (whether I have them or not).
The bulletin tells you the NAME of the product... the link shows me what PTFs correct the issue for each level of the OS (i.e. v7r4, v7r3, and v7r2). But NO WHERE does it give the product ID!
I'm sorry... I simply don't give a rip about IBM's history and how difficult something may be for them - they're supposed to be the world's foremost computing company! "Building a Smarter Planet", Watson, AI and such.
Hey IBM - this is simply UNACCEPTABLE!
All I ask is that they put the product ID on the website with the PTF number - how hard could that be??
Thanks for letting me vent.

You're welcome.
I might suggest changing the equal to an IN. You can then easily add others to "check to see if you have these 5 ptf's".
