JR38952: DISCARD VALUE OPTION IN SWITCH STAGE DOCUMENTATION IS MISLEADING NEEDS UPDATING WITH EXAMPLES.

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Customer sees Discard value option in switch stage is not
  working
  correctly for the integer value of the selector column. It is
  sending the discarded value to the reject link instead of simply
  discarding it.
  
  The reason is due to the fact that the documentation is
  misleading because it suggests that the user may enter the value
  to be discarded. However, in reality the values to be discarded
  must be listed in the case and then the link value is what has
  to be entered into the 'Discard' field.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

  MISLEADING
  NEEDS UPDATING WITH EXAMPLES.   The discard options on the

• The discard option functionality will be enhanced and the
  documentation made consistent.
