Mark,
Let me ask a general question about IBM packaging. Does IBM ever
send a fixing PTF with a PRE(PE-PTF) instead of a SUP(PE-PTF)? If
the fixing PTF has a PRE of the PTF you deleted, would you not be
causing yourself problems in that the PRE PTF is now missing?
Rex
That depends on if the fix PTF contains all the elements in the
PE-PTF or only some of them. If it contains all then it can SUP. If
it does not it must PRE to pick up the elements that it does not
contain - Note this can only occur if PE-PTF has more than one
element. When it contains only one, the fix can SUP(PE-PTF) and
should contain all of PE-PTF's PREs and SUPs.
