What I would like: 1) a flag for the output of Q CPLEVEL that indicates that additional service beyond the displayed level has been applied. Something like 8801++.
Applying the next RSU would reset the flag until the next PTF outside the RSU is applied. 2) a new option to SERVICE that does the VMFSIM magic to list all PTFS applied to a component. Example: SERVICE LIST CP Resulting in something like: RSU 8801 PTF xxxxxxxxc PTF yyygyygyy Etc I think that would help non-SES wizards to understand without breaking the older method.
