Re: QBNRPII

My impression is that you have to install a PTF (on either release) in 
order to get this API.

Unfortunately, IBM only tells you about one PTF (SI23619) , and they 
don't seem to have a cover letter for that PTF, so you really can't tell 
which release of i5/OS the PTF is for.

There was a previous discussion on this mailing list about this API:
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200701/threads.html#01551

I find myself wondering if this is really an experimental IBM thing that 
made it into the information center and APAR database by mistake.  I 
find the whole situation rather confusing.

I wonder if Barbara or Bruce (or any IBMer on this list, really) might 
be able to tell us why this is in both V5R3 and V5R4's Information 
Center, but the program doesn't exist, there's no PTF cover letter, 
there's only one PTF mentioned in the APAR, etc.  It's very confusing.
