What I would like:
1) a flag for the output of Q CPLEVEL that indicates that additional service
beyond the displayed level has been applied. Something like 8801++.
Applying the next RSU would reset the flag until the next PTF outside the RSU
is applied.
2) a new option to SERVICE that does the VMFSIM magic to list all PTFS applied
to a component. Example:
SERVICE LIST CP
Resulting in something like:
RSU 8801
PTF c
PTF yyygyygyy
Etc
I think that would help non-SES wizards to understand without breaking the
older method.

Following up on Nick Harris' expectation to see a change to QUERY CPLEVEL
after applying COR service to CP, I'd like to open a discussion on how
folks perceive service levels. That is, is there some way that you feel
IBM should express the concept of 'service level'?
For the sake of discussion, let us assert that:
- We are talking about the running entity, not the copy of the entity on
the build disk.
- Unless there are specific pre-reqs or co-reqs, PTFs can be applied in
any order or combination.
- Each component (CP, CMS, DIRMAINT, RACF, SES, etc.) has its own service
stream
