'''Program temporary fix''' or '''Product temporary fix''' ('''PTF'''), depending on date, is the standard [[IBM]] [[wikt:locution|locution]] to designate a single [[Patch (computing)|bug fix]], or group of fixes, distributed in a form ready to install for customers. They are often explained in tongue-in-cheek manner as ''permanent temporary fix'' or more practically ''probably this fixes'', because customers have the option to make the PTF a permanent part of the operating system if the patch fixes the problem.
