  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * PO application does not throw an error when the value on the *
  * specification is blank after the attribute is set up as      *
  * mandatory=1 in the Classification app. This is the behavior  *
  * of po specifications as they are inherited from item         *
  * specifications.  For this apar, a new system property called *
  * mxe.app.assetcat.mandatoryPerClassSpecUseWith is created.    *
  * For the users who want the code to validate against the      *
  * mandatory flag  based on the setup in the Classifications    *
  * app, please use the System Properties app to change the      *
  * property value to 1.                                         *
  *                                                              *
  * Allow the new mandatory flag defined in the Classifications  *
  * app on POLINE object to require a value when the "mandatry"  *
  * flag of the itemspec is not required.                        *
