Steve, Have a look at IBM z/OS Consolidated Service Test: FMIDs Installed in the CST ... http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/servicetst/fmids.html It gives you at least the FMIDs of the most important functions in a z/OS shop. And it's free, you don't need to be entitled ;)
In the APARs you have the RETAIN (!) release number(s) and the corresponding PTF number for that release of the apar. And like somebody already mentioned, the RETAIN release of a PTF corresponds to the last 3 digits of the FMID. Yeah, I know, you don't have the first 4 characters of the FMID. But start your own archive of FMIDs, these are quite stable, it's the last 3 characters which change (with each release). The PSP bucket would be a great help too, but it needs entitlement! Look at the "PREreq"..... at the end in the cover letter of a PTF, indicating the FMID to what that PTF is applicable. Don't know unfortunately if looking at a PTF cover letter needs you to be entitled. You might also try entering the fmid in: https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/zseries.srchBroker Can't tell you if it may help, I never tried it myself, while I use CST / PCR / PSP. And why not try 'googling' with the fmid? You may have hits. Maybe somebody else on the list knows where Program Directories are online??? They contain the fmids of a product too.
