AFAIK an ICF is cheaper than a CP (I believe half the price).

Others have already said this. With just a single CP on the system, its not a
good idea to have a CFCC LPAR on the same CP which is also being used for z/OS
LPARs.

I think you can REJECT specific PTFs.
REJECT takes a PTF out of the GLOBAL zone. If it's already applied, you
won't undo the PTF APPLY.
RESTORE ing the PTF just so you can have another go at it is not a good
idea. As people have said, RESTORE rolls back to the last ACCEPTed status

You cannot destroy prod data (it will be WORK IODF), so feel safe

Replying to the original post because of this statement:

One the hardest lessons for an SMP/E newbie to grasp is when it's OK to bypass

I'm also curious about 'not applying', but 'not restoring' is a long standing
characteristic. A PTF may contain a ++DELETE among its effects. There's a

If a PTF has a ++DELETE, it will contain ++HOLD(sysmod-id) ...
REASON(DELETE) etc. You cannot restore those PTFs. The statement
will look like
++DELETE(lmodname)
That is not to be confused with PTFs that delete MOD, MAC, or Data Element
entries. Those would look like ++PNLENU(ABC) DELETE S
