The Copy Program Temporary Fixes (PTFs) to Save Files (CPYPTFSAVF) command allows you to copy all or selected PTFs for installed and supported products from a device into PTF save files.

Restrictions:

1. Only PTFs for installed and supported products are copied.

The following notes provide information on how the command works.

Notes:

1. A SAVF is created in the QGPL library for each PTF that is copied.
2. If the PTF exists, the PTF is not copied.
3. When the PTF SAVF is created in the QGPL library, it is named Qxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the PTF identification number or time stamp.
4. Cover-letter files in the QGPL library are named Qxxxxxxyy, and placed in file QAPZCOVER, where xxxxxxx is the PTF identification number and yy is the language of the PTF. For English cover letters yy is blank.
