In general, the patches for any version are dropped and you will need
to get and install the new patches after/during the upgrade for the higher
version. Unless the patches are to PCSI, they most likely would be a
waste of time/energy to do before the upgrade - providing you are not
having crashes, of course.

You have read the release notes, and will make several good backups
before proceding, yes?

Subject: Upgrade Query

greetings
     am about to upgrade OpenvVMS from 7.1-2 to 7.2.
     have not installed several 'non-critical' patches that
     are available for version 7.1.
     is it imperative that all patches for one version be
     installed before an upgrade, or can the 'fixes' be
     expected as features of the new version?
     thanks in advance.
