Add the description of the PTF is the summary of PTF groups, cumulative, etc...

When you are about to install a PTF group is nice to check which are the PTFs it includes, especially if you want to solve a certain problem. Also is good to check between 2 different groups to check why something works with one group PTF and not with another one. Right now if you try to check what is in one group you need to enter each PTF one by one as not description is included in the summary. Example:

SF99704 740 DB2 for IBM i - level 26

-------------------------------------------------
PTF         DATE        APAR       LICENSED CUMULATIVE

It will be nice that this should appear as:
