<div><p>Find out how to load one, some, or all of your fixes with the Load
Program Temporary Fix (LODPTF) command.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Typically, you should use option 8 from the GO PTF menu to install
your fixes. However, you can encounter some situations where you need to perform
the separate steps of loading and then applying the fixes.</p>
<p>The fix packages
on CD-ROM or in a save file can contain many fixes. You can load one, some,
or all of them using the Load Program Temporary Fix (LODPTF) command. As fixes
are loaded, the system verifies that the release of the product is correct.
Fix status is <span class="uicontrol">not</span> applied after the fix has been loaded
on the system. Use the Apply Program Temporary Fix (APYPTF) command to apply
the fix. For some of the applied fixes, the status is Temporarily applied
- ACN. There are also some temporarily applied fixes that show a status of
Temporarily applied - PND. For these fixes, you need additional actions to
make them active.</p>

<div><div class="section">To load one fix from a cumulative package, do the following steps:</div>
<ol><li><span>Type LODPTF and press F4 (Prompt).</span></li>
<li><span>Specify the parameter values according to the fix you are loading.</span></li>
<li><span>Specify the fix identifier you want to load in the fix numbers

</ol>
<div class="section"><p>For fixes on a CD-ROM, the system will automatically find the fix
file in the cumulative package that contains the selected individual fixes
when you specify PATHID(*FIRST). All fixes to be loaded must exist in the
same path identifier. Otherwise, you need to load the fixes separately.</p>
<p>For
fixes on an image catalog, only the images that are part of the volume set
for the image that is mounted are searched.</p>

<div><div class="section"><p>If the fix being loaded replaces (supersedes) existing fixes (identified
in the fix cover letter) the following considerations apply:</p>
<ul><li>If the fix to be replaced is not applied to the system, the new fix can
be loaded successfully. A record is kept indicating that the replaced fix
has been superseded.</li>
<li>If the fix to be replaced is permanently applied, it is considered to
be a part of the operating system or licensed program to which it was applied.
The new fix can be loaded successfully.</li>
<li>If the fix to be replaced is temporarily applied, the load operation will
automatically permanently apply any replaced (superseded) fixes. If you do
not want the fix function to permanently apply any replaced (superseded) temporarily
applied fixes automatically, specify *NOAPY for the Superseded PTFs (SPRPTF)
parameter on the LODPTF command. The fixes to be replaced must either be permanently
applied or permanently removed before fixes that are replacing them can be
loaded.</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />When you order a fix, IBM<sup>®</sup> service does not search through the
fixes to determine which one is the latest level. For example, if you order
a fix that is superseded by another fix, IBM service will send you only the fix that
you ordered instead of the superseding fix. You need to use the summary list
to identify the fix you need to order. Scan the summary list for fixes that
replace the fix in question and then order the fix.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
