APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• MQ Explorer still contains the option to change DNSWLM to 'Yes'
  or 'No' (QMGR -> Properties -> Channels -> Register with WLM),
   even though this parameter hasn't been supported since  v8.0
  (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/8.0?topic=800-zos-wlmdns-no-
  longer-supported) and the only accepted value is now 'No', as
