Report on PTF level for discovered products.

System Programmers in our organization use spreadsheets to keep track of PTF levels applied to software products. This is a time consuming and tedious process. It would be very useful if TADZ could discover this information and include it in the 'discovered product detail' reports.

    This function was added in 8.3. Please read the dcoumentaion on how to use this facility. One this to be aware of. For this to work you need have your SMP/E zones on each LPAR unless the DASD is shared and most sites don't want to do this but if you need the information then this is the price to pay
