Cover letters provide information about the fixes that they accompany. They explain the contents of a fix, the problem that the fix resolves, special instructions that are associated with the fix, and prerequisites or corequisites that must also be installed on your system for the fix to function properly.
You can view your cover letters with any of the following methods:
You receive cover letters electronically as physical file members or on the particular media with the fixes. The cover letters are stored in members of file QAPZCOVER in library QGPL and are named Q pppppppxx, where ppppppp is the fix ID or a timestamp depending on what the fix save file was named. The xx are the last two digits of the language code of the cover letter. For cover letters in English, the last two digits of the language code do not appear, and the member name is the same as the corresponding fix save file name.
