- My understanding of an "apar" is that it is a report of a bug, which
- ultimately will result in some kind of a fix such as a "ptf". Also,
- that normally what you order are "ptf"'s, not "apars" as "apars" do
- not fix anything. When I tried to order the previous "apars", the
- rep had to look them up and find out what the associated "ptf"'s were.
- Granted, apars may result in a list of ptfs that fix the problem, and
- perhaps therefore apars are more concise in referencing the appropriate
- ptfs, but I got the definate impression that it is ptfs that you "order".
-
- Am I missing something in the procedure here?
