Bob,
        My shop does annual serverpacs and what I did was to generate the 
CPAC products report to a pre-allocated
dataset.  I then wrote an exec to parse out all the FMIDs and their "plain 
English" equivalents.  We use this to provide
dynamically generated web pages to publish what maintenence we've applied 
during a given maintenence cycle.
I've also used GIMAPI and Rexx code to extract the same data from the CSI. 
 I'd be happy to share so if you'd like so
please let me know.
