I have gone through the infocenter docuementation but some questions:

1. If I have 10 PTFs and that is already been loaded using LODPTF, how many times PTF exit programs will be called if I issue APYPTF? If it is 10 times then in which sequence? I mean which PTF will be resposible for the first call and so on.

2. What is meant by PRE-REMOVE TEMPORARILY, PRE-REMOVE TEMPORARILY, PRE-APPLY PERMANENTLY and PRE-REMOVE PERMANENTLY. Are there iSeries commands for those?

3. Infocenter mentioned about sending CPF3638 *ESCAPE message from exit program which will backout the changes. My question is who will take care about backing it out? If it is by system then ok but how to achieve this otherwise.

4. Does anyone have a table showing the combinations of Current PTF status and PTF operation and action to be taken?

Many thanks
Sudip
