Recent measurements for F(2)(x,Q(2)) have been analyzed in terms of the "dynamical" and "standard" parton model approach at next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) of perturbative QCD. Having fixed the relevant NLO and NNLO parton distributions, we present the implications and predictions for the longitudinal structure function F(L)(x,Q(2)). It is shown that the previously noted extreme perturbative NNLO/NLO instability of F(L)(x,Q(2)) is an artifact of the commonly utilized "standard" gluon distributions. In particular it is demonstrated that using the appropriate-dynamically generated-parton distributions at NLO and NNLO, F(L)(x,Q(2)) turns out to be perturbatively rather stable already for Q(2)>= O(2-3 GeV(2)).
