"Does IBM ever send a fixing PTF with a PRE(PE-PTF) instead of a SUP(PE-PTF)?"
In my experience, Yes, but rarely. I have seen it done. There used to be limits on the size of PTFs or the number of parts they contained. Those limits have probably gone away over the years, but sometimes developers would need to just ship the specific parts that needed fixing and PRE the PE-PTF instead of superseding it which required reshipping all of the parts in the superseded PTF. --Roger On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 3:42 PM, Pommier, Rex <rpomm...@sfgmembers.com>wrote: > Mark, > > Let me ask a general question about IBM packaging.
