I expected to see something newer than 0801. I applied COR PTFs to run on a z/196 so I understand the service level won't change. All is well. Thanks for your response.

Did you apply an RSU or did you apply specific PTFs? Only an RSU will change the Service Level number. (The concept of "Service Level" is nice. In practice, however, it leaves something to be desired.) More importantly, what were you expecting to see?
