  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Under certain conditions, the abend     *
  *                      retry feature did not retry a job       *
  *                      even though the condition code matched  *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  If the following conditions are met, the abend retry feature
  did not retry the job even though the abend-code matched the
  table definition.
  - ANY is specified in an ABRSN field of an abend retry table
    entry whose conditions match the job return code. The ANY
    means that PRF will ignore the reason code when it checks
    the abend retry entry
  - A job abnormally terminates with a non-zero reason code
  

Problem conclusion

• The retry decision process has been corrected.
