PH45712: CHANGE PACKAGE LIST PANEL CCVPPM1L DISPLAYS ERROR: CCVE218 'FILTER SCHEME' CONTAINS INVALID DATA CHARACTERS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Via the CICS CM ISPF online dialog, change packages are listed
  
  using a filter Scheme like "P*". Upon display return,
  
  use NEXT (default F10) to scroll to the alternative view that
  
  displays the change package Description column, that is panel
  
  CCVPPM1L. Exit the CICS CM online dialog.
  
  
  
  Upon next entry into the CICS CM ISPF online dialog, the
  listing
  
  of change packages returns to the CCVPPM1L panel, which shows
  
  the Descriptions. However, when enter is pressed the
  
  ISPF error is displayed for Filter Scheme. As Filter Scheme
  
  is not displayed on the panel, it cannot be viewed or
  corrected.
  
  Panel CANCEL (default F12), will exit the change package list,
  
  but any return into the change packages list suffers the same
  
  error.
  
  
  The CCVPPM1L panel included a values check for Filter Scheme,
  
  but the masking characters "+" and "*" were omitted from the
  
  list of  acceptable characters:     (i.e. A-Z 0-9 $ @ # _ - +
  *).
  
  The problem only appears when
  
   (1) Filter Scheme includes a masking character "+" or "*";
  
   (2) The first panel for the packages list display is CCVPPM1L.
  
  Therefore, if you exit the change package list on a screen other
  
  
  than the one showing Description, the problem does not occur
  
  on next entry.
  
  Panel CCVPPM1L should not validate Filter Scheme, because it
  
  is not a filter input field for the panel. A review of the
  related
  
  panels CCVPPM1K, CCVPPM1L and CCVPPM1M will also be
  
  done, and other similar cases where validations are performed
  
  for fields not on the panel, those validations will be removed.
  

Local fix

• To circumvent the problem, users must delete their ISPF profile
  
  member CCVOPROF, and thereafter resume with a new profile.

Problem conclusion

• CICS Configuration Manager is corrected. The erroneous
  validation logic for the Filter Scheme in panel CCVPPM1L has
  been removed; it omitted "+" and "*" as acceptable Filter Scheme
  values.  As panel CCVPPM1L does not provide an input field for
  Filter Scheme, validation for entered values is inappropriate.
