Me, I’m lazy. Unless the documentation indicates otherwise I load the entire mess into a single image catalog and let the system handle the order of application.

In our shop we follow the same procedure as Splat. Works great.

If you have not checked out image catalogs, it is worth the time. It is not as complicated as it may first appear.

Once you put all PTF Files into IMAGE Catalog you can use WRKIMGCLG Load the Omage and then option 10 to Verify as PTF using the sort Variable and it will place in the IBM though order. If you do Cumulative , Hipers and DB2 it puts the Hipers and DB2 first
