Error description

• The following problems will be resolved by this APAR:
  1. New NODSN parameter used to determine CBAC processing when it
     encounters a request to open a VSAM file that does not have a
     data set name currently associated with it.
  2. Correct TRACEOPTS parameter name to correspond with the
     documentation (TRACEOPTIONS).
  3. DISP(OLD) being set incorrectly in CBAC control file when
     CICSSTARTMODE(UPDATE) used, resulting in subsequent CBAC
     batch utility requests attempting to set file to DISP(OLD).
  4. Add CICSMIRRORTRANS support to CBAC file maintenance utility
     and ISPF administration interface.
  5. ABENDS0C4 at CBKPARSE +56A when using CBAC file maintenance
     utility.
  6. RLS option for file objects not being displayed by CBAC ISPF
     admin utility correctly (if value is other than 'ignore').
  7. Allow default PARMLIB data set to be specified when a user
     enters the ISPF admin interface for the first time.
  8. Fix 'message not found' error message from ISPF admin
     interface.
  9. Open CBAC control file for UPDATE or READ ONLY from the ISPF
  admin interface and file maintenance utility, depending on
     type of request, when request is being processed natively.
  10.Excessive EXCI requests from ISPF admin interface and file
     maintenance utility.
  11.Support hyphen ('-') in data set name.
  12.CBAC control file initialization program not properly
     initializing new/added fields.
  13.ISPF admin interface 'exclude' object panels being displayed
     with no initial value for exclude option, resulting in the
     user not being able to exit the panel without providing a
     value for the field.

  4. CICSMIRRORTRANS support needs to be added to CBAC file
  maintenance utility and ISPF administration interface.
  5. ABENDS0C4 at CBKPARSE +56A when using CBAC file maintenance
  utility.
  6. RLS option for file objects not being displayed correctly by
