Thank you very much, Alan. I really did everything by the book, RC=0 on everything including the PSPs.
I just do not understand why CP still says 0802 for my CPLEVEL. I looked at $VMFP2P $MSGLOG and $VMFSRV $MSGLOG and everything looks good. It does not seem that SES even tried to update the CPLEVEL on HCPCPE AUXVM The IPL shows the old Service Level but the current date/time stamp. 19:09:15 z/VM V5 R4.0 SERVICE LEVEL 0802 (64-BIT) 19:09:16 SYSTEM NUCLEUS CREATED ON 2010-10-14 AT 12:05:41, LOADED FROM 54XRES It is the same whether I IPL from CF1 or CF2, but CF3 shows the 2 year old version. I did run Service and P2P 3 times once for the RSU, once for the COR for the 3 z196 compatibility APARs, and finally once again for the PSPs. I did IPL between the 3 Service sessions.

PTFs did get applied and I do see the correct SES envelop fn's in $MSGLOG, so I know I did not just rerun with the old SERVLINK. Is there anyway of mapping CPLOAD so I can be sure that I will really be IPLing with these APARs when the z196 arrives?.

"PSU" is a *procedure* that you use to apply the Recommended Service Upgrade (RSU). See Chapter 2 of the Service Guide. (IMO, it doesn't deserve an abbreviation.) The term "stacked RSU" is historical. Back in VM/ESA Version 2 the RSU for each component (CP, CMS, TCP/IP, etc.) was orderable separately in addition to a "stacked" RSU that contained all of the most recent component RSUs. In z/VM V3, individual component RSUs were dropped, but the "stacked" moniker persisted. My friends in Development will take it under advisement that perhaps it is time to retire the term "stacked" as it adds no value. "RSU" and "stacked RSU" are the same thing now days. As a reminder, http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/rsu/ is your friend.
