I know I'm late responding to this, and I know it has already been
answered, but the question confuses enough people that it is worth
clarifying.
A PE PTF is a bad thing. It means that a fix got into the field before
somebody discovered a problem with it. Usually this means it introduced a
new problem by some unforeseen consequence for which nobody tested.
A PE APAR is a good thing. It is the fix for a PE PTF. Usually the PTF
for the PE APAR supersedes the original bad PTF, meaning that all the
parts are resupplied so that nobody ever needs to install the PE PTF.
