This means a PE'd PTF will hold up ASM maintenance until the fixing PTF becomes available. It also means we can't install a PTF to fix a specific error. Does the ASM group ship APAR's to allow specific problems to be resolved without applying all PTF's?
The C compiler list 4 PTF's as the levelset Do you know if they follow the same methodology as ASM? Your group is lucky because they can simply tell us to bring the product current because that's what will happen anyways. This isn't how most products create PTF's.
