  ****************************************************************
  When the ENABLE(PPRCSUM) option is active in
  SYS1.PARMLIB(DEVSUPxx), it's possible for Summary Unit Check
  processing for a PPRC State Change Event occurring during a
  HyperSwap, to leave some devices in the PINNED state. This
  means that if a Dynamic ACTIVATE that affects those devices
  is done following a Hyperswap, the ACTIVATE may fail due to
  the outstanding PINs left on those devices.
  

Problem conclusion

• IOS Summary Unit Check processing is being changed to ensure
  that outstanding PINs are not left on devices.
