  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  An incorrect source version of module HASCOFST was included with
  the install of z/OS 3.1 JES2 (HJE77E0).  Users modifying JES2
  source may need to reassemble HASCOFST and the reassembly will
  fail with the error code ASMA057E (msgASMA057E).
  
  The generated object code for HASCOFST included with z/OS 3.1
  JES2 (HJE77E0) is correct.
  

Problem conclusion

• TYPE/RESTART (NONE) IPL/REQUIRED (NO) CLPA (NO)
  
  This PTF will install the correct version of the module HASCOFST
  source.
