Thanks, John Jorgensen, Yaacov Fenster and Bob Vickers for your answers.
It seems that the documentation is not up to date.. The patch-ID's are
unique, if you realize that in batch mode the patch-ID should use the
notation Cxxxx.yy, not plain xxxx.yy.
something like:
"setld -i | grep OSFPATC | grep -v not | sed -e 's/OSFPATC0/C/' | sed -e \
's/[0-9][0-9]520.*//' | gsed -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g'"
should do the trick in getting the ID's on one line in 5.1A (easy to put
in the dupatch-datafile)...
so, at least the man-page of dupatch should be updated, and possibly also
the manual at
http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/docs/patch/install/HTML/TITLE.HTM
the latter should contain instructions using dupatch not only
interactively, but also in batch mode (Hompaq, you listening?-) )
