APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Its observed that where variables are being passed to the
  callback function through the InfoBus some of the passed
  parameters are not recognized by type.
  
  This is fundamentally as designed, the type for infobus data
  parameter is ANY so when passing data it will first be
  transferred to ANY type but the the "signature"(type) for the
  data is not then retained.
  So this defect is to address this so that its possible for users
  to identify the type of object that was originally published.
