The PTF does not update any macro, but as Peter says, it's not a programming 
interface anyway. 

One more point. The NUCLEUS element CUNMIIPL has the alias IEAVNPUN. If you 
choose to put the fix elements in place 'manually' ahead of the next IPL, don't 
forget the alias.

Can you do that?

Can you audit all your in-house code to assure that nothing uses Unicode 
services?
What about indirectly?

Can you electively disable Unicode services and observe what fails?  (Can you 
zap the evil bit on?  Or zap the CC mask in the test so it always takes the 
"disabled" path?  Yah, I know: OCO.)

I assume the repair is to test the correct bit, ignoring the correct store of 
the system clock.  Are all defective macros (even non-GUPI) repaired?
