    01. During the capture of related LE messages the returned
        message was being incorrectly copied to a message buffer and
        in so doing caused invalid data to be stored which led to
        the incorrect possible loop message.
    02. Inefficient storage access checking.
    03. ISPF was filling the value in memory with garbage data
        if it hadn't been saved before (i.e. on first use), instead
        of initialising them as 0, which was stated in the ISPF
        documentation.
    04. FA issued FREEMAIN in the wrong key.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01. The message copy code has been fixed accordingly.
    02. Storage access checking processing has been improved.
    03. Added a check to enforce the saved boolean toggle value to
        be either 0 or 1.
    04. FA changes to the correct key before FREEMAIN is issued.
