    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In some scenarios a variable valorized  *
    *                      with the logical not value "¬" is not   *
    *                      correctly substituted                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY THE PTF FIXING THIS APAR               *
    ****************************************************************
    The scenarios where a dependent variable (whose "VAL REQ" flag
    is set to "N") has to assume the logical not value "¬" because
    of the value the independent value controlling it are not
    correctly managed. In fact the dependent variable value is not
    nullified but is wrongly replaced with a blank value.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem has been fixed. Now the dependent value is
    correctly nullified when his value is set to be the logical
    not "¬".
