You can use a file containing a list of the patch numbers as an argument
to the -l parameter.

See there for details, in the OPERANDS section:

http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/usage.html

Only put the 6 digit patch number in the file, not the revision, so PCA
will list & apply the latest available version.
