Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Several byte count fields in the Applications Summary table show
  invalid values.
  
  This occurs when the application has sent or received a large
  amount of data.
  
  In particular, the fields 'Total Bytes Sent (in GB)',
  'Total Bytes Received (in GB)' and 'Total Bytes (in GB)' will
  all contain the value '4294967295'.

  ****************************************************************
  Signed arithmetic used to calculate byte counts could not
  handle large values returned from the NMI.  The results were
  stored as large negative values in the control block.  These
  values were then displayed at the TEP as '4294967295'
  The collector code needs to be changed to handle extremely
  large byte count metrics.
  

Problem conclusion

• KN3ANMTA is changed to handle large byte count metrics
  received from the NMI.
