We did save our ptfs that were received during this time (41 ptfs) of which 9 were applied. This maintenance was on multiple systems spread over 3 sysplexs. That made doing reapply's not a very desirable idea. We rejected the 41 ptfs and received them again. Then we used GIMCPTS to expand both the "good" and "bad" copy of the 9 ptfs and compared them. There were no differences in the 9 ptfs that we have applied.
