  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: PCF command with CMDSCOPE(*)            *
  *                      gives MQRCCF_CFSF_LENGTH_ERROR          *
  *                      or MQRCCF_CFBF_LENGTH_ERROR.            *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A PCF command is coded with a filter element - either
  MQCFT_STRING_FILTER or MQCFT_BYTE_STRING_FILTER.
  It also contains MQCACF_COMMAND_SCOPE set to * (asterisk)
  indicating the message should be passed to every active qmgr in
  the QSG (queue sharing group).
  The command fails with either of these errors:
  RC 3245 (X'0CAD')  - MQRCCF_CFSF_LENGTH_ERROR
  RC 3264 (X'0CC0')  - MQRCCF_CFBF_LENGTH_ERROR
  RC 3266 (X'0CC2')  - MQRCCF_CFBF_FILTER_VAL_LEN_ERR
  This is due to module CSQ9SCNX changing the original
  element when it is parsing it instead of working on a copy
  of the element.
  
  Additional Keywords: MQCFSF MQCFBF CMDSCOPE
  

Problem conclusion

• CSQ9SCNX has been altered so it allocates some storage to
  change the Filter element instead of doing it in the buffer.
