DB2 does not release PTFs on a "Level Set" basis. Believing there is a "Level Set" implies your company orders PTFs on a non-scheduled basis, say, every few months. What should be a standard operating procedure is to order and receive PTFs on a daily basis. If any PTFs you have not applied are found to have problems, the error hold will be received with the daily processing. Likewise with PTFs which have been accepted.
When an Apply is done, any PTFs which are marked as being in error will not be Applied. Unless you choose to bypass the error hold. The same holds true for an Accept of the Applied PTFs.
