System name:		medusa
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 6.4R (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
medusa% pstat -u
pstat: one or more of -[aixptfsu] is required

What's wrong:
Bogus usage - wanted a number following the -u

Note that :

medusa% pstat -ur
usage: pstat -[aixptfs] [-u [ubase]] [system] [core]

gave proper usage.....

but:

medusa% pstat -a -u
pstat: one or more of -[aixptfsu] is required

doesn;t, and the above indicates that ubase is optonal with one of the
other keys. 

What should have happened:
	The proper message should have been given.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I didn't read the man page, that's how I got it...
	Man page is explicit.
	(although usage above indicates the ubase as being optional....)
