Group_Ptf_Currency: Also show those at "Apply at Next IPL"

I am trying to find out what group PTF's I need to order so I ran:
SELECT * FROM SYSTOOLS.GROUP_PTF_CURRENCY
ORDER BY ptf_group_level_available - ptf_group_level_installed DESC;

and I get:
PTF_GROUP_CURRENCY PTF_GROUP_ID PTF_GROUP_TITLE
...
INSTALLED LEVEL IS CURRENT SF99876 730 High Availability for IBM
UPDATE AVAILABLE SF99724 730 Backup Recovery Solutions
UPDATE AVAILABLE SF99725 730 Java
UPDATE AVAILABLE SF99728 730 Group Security
******** End of data ********

However when I run
WRKPTFGRP
I get
PTF Group Level Status
SF99876 1 Installed
...
SF99728 3 Installed
SF99728 4 Apply at next IPL
SF99725 1 Installed
SF99725 2 Apply at next IPL
SF99724 3 Installed
SF99724 4 Apply at next IPL

So technically I do not need to order SF99724, SF99725, SF99728 as I already have them.
Please add a column for this status.


Use Case:

service and reliability

    This was delivered to IBM i 7.1 and higher in November, 2016.
    To get the enhancement, install the latest DB2 PTF Group.
    Thanks for the great idea.
