Reading the emails exchanged here
I had a vague memory of a way to check if you're current on your Group
PTFs using SQL,

Found it.

With iLevel(iVersion, iRelease) AS (select OS_VERSION, OS_RELEASE from
sysibmadm.env_sys_info ) SELECT P.* FROM iLevel,
systools.group_ptf_currency P WHERE ptf_group_release = 'R'
CONCAT iVersion CONCAT iRelease concat 0 ORDER BY
ptf_group_level_available , ptf_group_level_installed DESC

This is taken from here:
https://powerwire.eu/how-to-get-the-new-navigator-for-i

It should make managing PTFs a bit easier.

On a closely related note see also:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=88260
Basically you will never get the ability to check individual ptf currency
with IBM the way you can check group PTF currency because they will never
put the listing of PTF's available at IBM in a xml document consumable by a
individual ptf currency service. Reasoning being: "Our platform strategy
is for clients to manage IBM i by PTF Groups, not individual PTFs."
