For my money, the quickest and most reliable way to find the 'latest PTF' of a 
load module is to use the PDS command or its progeny StarTool. Select the 
member you want to query in its load library. For example, we're currently 
working on module AMAPDUPL In MIGLIB. Use the 'HISTORY' subcommand:

Hi AMAPDUPL

You get a display like below. It shows that PTF UA99435 was installed today. 

This is the fix BTW that allows the PDDU utility to use HTTPS instead of FTP to 
send doc to IBM. FWIW conventional FTP (as opposed to FTPS) will be disallowed 
in a few weeks.

CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL

PTF numbers are assigned in increasing order, but there's no real guarantee 
that reflects the order they apply in.

In addition to Mark Jacobs' advice, you can also just list the sysmod you're 
interested in; as it could have been SUPed and not show up directly on the MOD 
entry.
