  ****************************************************************
  This APAR fixes the MFS compare utility not to cause ABENDS378-
  14 when none of the members specified on the SELECT statement
  exist in the format library specified by FORMAT2 DD statement.
  
  When the utility finds some error during analyzing the SELECT
  statement and the error is related to the FORMAT2 DD statement,
  the utility incorrectly issues FREEMAIN two times to the same
  storage for closing. It causes the error. The problem does not
  occur when none of the members specified on the SELECT
  statement exist in the format library specified by FORMAT DD
  statement.
  This APAR fixes the utility not to issue FREEMAIN two times.
  
  This APAR also fixes the utility return code for analyzing
  error. When the MFS compare utility issues error message
  during analyzing the SELECT statement, it ends with return
  code 0. It should end with return code 8. So this APAR also
  fixes the return code for analyzing error.
