Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All MQ users using channels for communication.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  APAR IV56612 introduced code changes which check the TRPTYPE of
  the channel on both communicating sides. For example, both the
  sender and receiver sides of the channel pair.
  
  The channels would not be started if the TRPTYPE on each side
  did not match.
  
  This change was directly in contradiction with the documented
  behaviour of MQ, which states the following for the TRPTYPE
  attribute:
  
  "This parameter is optional because, if you do not enter a
  value, the value specified in the SYSTEM.DEF.channel-type
  definition is used. However, no check is made that the correct
  transport type has been specified if the channel is initiated
  from the other end. On z/OS, if the SYSTEM.DEF.channel-type
  definition does not exist, the default is LU62."
  

Problem conclusion

• The IV56612 code changes have been removed from the product in
  order to remain consistent with the documented behavior.
  Accordingly, this check of the TRPTYPE values is no longer
  performed.
