Since I wound up in a meeting with someone on the CST team, I verified
that everything is supposed to eventually be marked RSU, even PTFs for
products that are not part of CST, based on age. There are windowing
factors make the delay between COR-close and RSU vary, but generally we
would expect everything that was COR-closed by March to have been marked
RSU by now.
The simplest way to see if something else is holding up your dogies
(other than a lariat) is to run an APPLY CHECK with a SELECT list and
see whether:
(a) they are actually not applicable to the zone for one reason or
another; or,
(b) some PRE or IF chain is holding them up (e.g., due to a PE); or,
(c) they are not old enough to be summarily marked RSU by age; or,
(d) we somehow missed marking them RSU when they came of age.
If you think your dogies are in (d), please send me some examples and
I'll forward to the team. Maybe we need to "steer" something in the
right direction.

I have reviewed our current list of unapplied PTFs from LIST NOAPPLY(). The
real (unexplained) dogies are way fewer than I expected, fewer than I've seen
in the past. Maybe this has become a non-problem. I do want to make a point
that some folks may have missed. From the get-go, RSU was not merely a
relabeling of PTF bundling. PTFs included in an RSU have been tested together,
providing a new level of confidence over PUT, which was a temporal packaging
concept, not a functional one. With PUT, the chance of incompatibility among
PTFs is greater than with RSU.
I agree that a small number of dogies should be taken to IBM for explanation.

I'd ask the question "How come these PTF's aren't in an RSU?"
Shouldn't they have gone through CST at some point?
I would think so too, unless they have been SUP'ed.
