The PTF level is indicated in two ways:

￿The number after the PTF ID

￿3.5.x number at the end

Also, verify that the OS/400 release level (V5R1M0 in this case) matches your current release level. If it does not, then this data area remains from before an OS/400 upgrade.

Another way to check the PTF level is to view the stream file /QIBM/ProdData/WebASAdv/properties/com/ibm/WebSphere/product.xml. You can view this in any of the ways described earlier. The contents are similar to those of the equivalent Windows NT file.
