Thanks to all who responded so quickly!

Maybe my question was a little unclear:

> is there a way to install many patches in one step ??
> I don't want to run 100 times the installpatch because

> packages, for other required patches, and so on).

All answers were in the same direction:
I've to write a script which calls installpatch for each patch.

The important point is, that I want to avoid using 'installpatch'!

But as there's no solution for it, i've to look into installpatch
and change it by myself (if there's time....)
