>Individual PTFs, APARs, USERMODs, etc. can be selectively applied. That's what I thought. But, they claim it's a lot of work to sift through the APAR and pick out the non-PE'd (and their associated apply chains). <SNIP> In reading this thread, I keep getting the impression that the APAR lists several PTFs that have the same FMID (product version-release Identifier). And that each APAR addresses more than one issue. Is this the case? Or is it simple APARs listing 1 to say 20 PTFs? In either case, the Vendor should be able to provide you with the good PTFs. Just one man's opinion who has written a few APARs and PTFs over the years.
