Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An OTMA tracing indicator will be added to the IMS Connect
  Extensions Control Information record (X'00').
  
  When IMS Connect Extensions OTMA tracing is active, key
  additional information is made available for data analysis.
  However, when analyzing a journal it can be difficult to
  identify whether tracing is active or not.
  An indicator is required at the start of each journal to
  identify whether IMS Connect Extensions OTMA tracing is active.
