P T F S I N E R R O R ------------------------- This section provides a complete list of PTFs that were found to cause problems for some users. You should review the 'USERS AFFECTED' field for each item to decide if you are exposed to the problem. If you are exposed to the problem, the 'RECOMMENDATION' should be followed. Users who regularly order and apply individual PTFs should periodically review PSP SF98248. Under certain conditions, we recommend that a PTF applied to your system be removed or that a PTF be omitted when applying a cumulative package. Instructions for removing and omitting PTFs follow the PTFs in error. - 'DEFECTIVE PTF' - This field contains the identity (PTF number) of the PTF that is defective. - 'LICENSED PROGRAM - The Licensed Program Number NUMBER' - 'APAR NUMBER' - The identity of the APAR that reports the problem. - 'USERS AFFECTED' - This field describes the users who are exposed to the problem. - 'REASON DEFECTIVE' - This field provides a description of the problem caused by the error in the PTF. - 'RECOMMENDATION' - This field describes the action you should take to avoid the problem. ************************************************************************* 1.
