  ****************************************************************
  The WSGRID module was updated to report an up to date version
  number that it was built at, instead of a hard coded older
  version number.  However, this new module was not compatible
  with all levels of the batch runtime.  A
  "java.lang.RuntimeException: Parse error 1" error occurs in
  this case, due to the Job Scheduler MDB being unable to parse
  communication from WSGRID.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WSGRID module has been updated.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 9.0.5.0.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
