APAR status

Error description

• A report which contains nested lastChild functions is being used
  to return the previous month into a column in a report, for
  example if the current month is 2010 Aug the report should show
  2010 Jul.??However, this no longer returns a value and the
  defaultMember function has now been introduced to return the
