PK21939: ENHANCE THE HANDLING OF MODIFIABLE PCBS VIA CHNG AND INQY CALLS TO ELIMINATE THE NECESSITY OF BACKING OUT THE MESSAGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Application issues a CHNG to a modifiable PCB followed by an
  INQY call to determine if the path is active.   If the path is
  active the application issues an ISRT call.  With Apar PK11802,
  WLR moved its logic from the CHNG call to the ISRT call to
  support both modifiable and non-modifiable PCBs.   However, the
  INQY call is based upon the destination.   If the application
  moves the INQY call after the ISRT, the INQY will check the
  correct destination; however, the application must also be
  updated to back out the message. WLR is being updated to
  move its logic for handling modifiable PCBs back to the CHNG
  exit. The ISRT exit will still be used to handle
  non-modifiable PCBs.
