I posted some code that I use all the time to display a ptf without the product ID.

Maybe I'm just missing something? But this is something that has bugged me for YEARS...

Why does IBM always reference a PTF number without indicating the corresponding product ID??? It's like they assume I know what the product ID's are.

Example:
I just received a security bulletin for a product. For v7r3, and PTF SI78756. Now, I may or may not have the product installed on our box. How do I know? They didn't give me the product ID.

What am I missing?
