  The wasservicehelper tool can be used to simplify adding and
  removing the Windows service for WebSphere. The tool saves the
  command syntax used in a file named wasservicecmd.rep. The
  command syntax saved is incorrect for "add" commands. This
  does not affect operation, only the information saved in the
  report file is incorrect.
  

Problem conclusion

• Corrected code to report the command accurately.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.25 and 9.0.5.18. For more information, see 'Recommended
