  1. Make sure the licensed programs to which the fixes are being applied are not in use.
    Note: Be sure to follow any special instructions, including activation instructions, in the cover letter to ensure that the system is in the correct state.
  2. Enter the Apply Program Temporary Fix (APYPTF) command and press F4 (Prompt). Press F9 (All parameters) to display all of the fields on the Apply Program Temporary Fix (APYPTF) display.
  3. Specify the number that corresponds to the licensed program you are applying fixes for the Product (LICPGM) parameter.
  4. Specify the release level for the Release (RLS) parameter.
    Note: The release parameter is only required if more than one release of the product is installed.
  5. Select the fixes you want applied by doing one of the following:
    • Specify the identifiers of the fix you want to apply in the PTF numbers to select (SELECT) parameter. To apply all fixes, specify *ALL in the PTF numbers to select (SELECT) parameter.
    • Specify *ALL for the fix numbers to select (SELECT) parameter, and the numbers of specific fixes you do not want to apply for the fix numbers to omit (OMIT) parameter.
    Note: Specify APYREQ(*YES) to ensure all requisites within the same product are also applied if individual fix identifiers are specified in the SELECT parameter.
  6. To temporarily install the fixes, specify *TEMP for the Extent of change (APY) parameter. To permanently install the fixes, specify *PERM.
    Note: Fixes that are temporarily installed can be removed; fixes that are permanently installed cannot be removed (see Removing fixes).
  7. Specify *NO for the Delayed PTFs (DELAYED) parameter.
    Note: To apply all immediate fixes right now and all delayed fixes on the next IPL, specify *ALL for the Product (LICPGM) parameter, *ALL for the Select (SELECT) parameter, and *IMMDLY for the Apply Type (APPLY) parameter.
  8. Press Enter. The system applies the fixes to the specific licensed program.
