Shmuel is correct. Having a PTF level can be misleading. You are only seeing 
PTF numbers that IBM has chosen to display. If the C compiler consists of a 100 
modules, then there are 100 PTF levels which may or may not be important to you.

UNIX has this concept because the product is replaced as a whole. z/OS updates 
are at the module level rather than product level. You may find the release 
somewhat useful but rarely will you find that listing 4 PTF's as a levelset 
being of much use. In addition, you have the various includes and related 
products play a larger role than the compiler level.

What problem have you encountered that has you making the decision to include 
compiler level?
