Re: Fix Central and Open Cases

if one wants to just order the ptf group for security (ibm appears to have
put all the fixes in here, but i've not verified each an every one)

- i usually download all the groups for 7.5 (except cume)    by requesting
SF99751
the group link below does show 8/11 change date for both security group and
http group so ...


 SNDPTFORD  PTFID((SF99958 *ONLYPRD *ONLYRLS)) +
              PTFPART(*ALL) RMTCPNAME(*IBMSRV) +
              RMTNETID(*NETATR) DELIVERY(*LINKONLY) +
              DLVRYFMT(*SAVF) ORDER(*REQUIRED) +
              REORDER(*NO) CHKPTF(*YES) +
              IMGOPT(*DOWNLOAD) IMGDIR(*DFT) +
              IMGPFX(*SRVPVD) IMGCLG(*NONE)

this is all the groups
