I agree with Radoslaw. He identified a packaging bug where applying each PTF 
creates a different load module versus applying all PTFs at the same time. The 
load module size is different by thousands of bytes. Using SMP/e, a load module 
is required (not enforced) to be the same size at the same PTF level. In the 
following SMP/e output apply for UW95965, we don't see the expected include and 
replace statements. This tells us the UW96965 completely replaces BAZGPSAC and 
the only way the load module could be different sizes would be from a PTF & 
FMID packaging error. Because of this PTF packaging error, we can't tell which 
is the correct method to apply PTFs. 

IEW2322I 1220  152    ENTRY BAZGPSAC
IEW2322I 1220  153    MODE AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY)
IEW2322I 1220  154    INCLUDE SMPWRK3(BAZGPSAC) UW95965       SEQ # 000006
IEW2322I 1220  155     SETSSI 01115965
IEW2322I 1220  156    NAME BAZGPSAC(R)
