If you (or anyone on the list) would like to see the PTF level in a GBLC
symbol, or indeed, any other useful piece of information in a system GBLC,
simply raise a requirement (go read
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21577670 on how to do raise
one).

And as Jonathan mentioned, ASMA9Z does contain the PTF number - and I'm
sure some will go look and decode the entries. But remember, it is (as we
say) 'NOT Programming Interface Information' - it may change.

Maintenance levels, for our products is the domain of SMP/e - its the
source of information on what is applied, on co-req and pre-req chains.

It is interesting to note that the IBM Installation manager is fast
catching up on installing, tracking products and service levels - and is
being used by WAS on z - see:

Session 10633 given by Mike Loos at  SHARE back in 2012 (available at
SHARE web site)

Will it replace smp/e for all products ? - no (probably not - but I can't
predict the future), but for cross platform products, it simplifies
installation and maintenance.
