Problem conclusion

• The following changes are delivered:
  
  1. Keep the original behavior of DB2 Admin to display
     the current value of YES or NO in the table column PGFIX
     on panel ADB2ZBA2 and in the field PGFIX on the
     subsequent Alter panel ADB2ZBA8 when the current value
     and the pending value for PGFIX are the same.
  2. Change to display the pending value plus * (YES* or NO*)
     in the table column PGFIX on panel ADB2ZBA2 when
     the current value and the pending value for PGFIX
     are NOT the same.
  3. Change to display the pending value YES or NO in the
     field PGFIX on the panel ADB2ZBA8 when the current
     value and the pending value for PGFIX are NOT the same.
  4. The user can press the F1 key on panel ADB2ZBA2 to see the
     new help panel ADBHZBA2 'HELP: Alter Buffer Pools' which
     introduces the new changes for attribute PGFIX during an
     alter.
  
  New help panel ADBHZBA2 has been added:
  
  ADBHZBA2 HELP ---- HELP: Alter Buffer Pools --
  Command ===>

  PGFIX     Whether the buffer pool is fixed in real storage when
            it is used.
            YES  - The buffer pool is fixed in real storage. YES
                   also indicates that the PGFIX value for the
                   current allocation
                   (Current value) and the value for the next
                   allocation (Pending value) are the same.
            NO   - The buffer pool is not fixed in real storage.
                   NO also indicates that the PGFIX value for the
                   current allocation and the value for the next
                   allocation are the same.
  
            YES* - Indicates that the PGFIX value for the current
                   allocation is NO but the value for the next
                   allocation is YES.  The Pending value YES will
                   be displayed in the PGFIX field on the
                   following panel after entering an AL line
                   command on a buffer pool.
            NO*  - Indicates that the PGFIX value for the current
                   allocation is YES but the value for the next
                   allocation is NO. The Pending value NO will be
                   displayed in the PGFIX field on the following
                   panel after entering an AL line command on a
                   buffer pool.
