APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It happens that if the user empties the file "exclude_path.txt"
  on the target (that is it becomes 0 bytes length) , the action
  script does not append the "excluded directories" the operator
  console has specified in the Description and that causes the
  scan over all the directories (which the customer wants to
  avoid)
  The statement of the the task:
  appendfile {concatenation "%0a" of unique values whose
  (multiplicity of it = number of lines of file (parameter
  "excludepathfile")) of (item 1 of it) of it whose ((item 1 of
  it) does not equal (item 0 of it)) of ((lines of file
  (parameter "excludepathfile")), unique values of substrings
  separated by ";" of (parameter "excludeddirs") )}
  
  should be split into two different statements based on the
  number of lines in the excludepathfile
