Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Report set dates can be corrupted if the display format of dates
  is US or European AND there are FROM and TO dates in the Report
  Interval fields of transit reports AND the 'sub' command is
  issued from the Report Sets menu AND Execution Mode 2 or 3 is
  is selected AND Option "1. Save the Report Set and continue the
  submit request" is taken.
  
  Reason for failure:
  Dates are held internally in Report Sets in YYYY/MM/DD form and
  converted for display based on the user's IMS PA Settings (=0.1)
  Preferred Date Format.  If the user changes the date then it
  needs to be converted back to YYYY/MM/DD form before storing
  back in the Report Set.  When Execution Mode 2 or 3 is selected
  the dates are incorrectly flagged as updated and the incorrect
  format is stored in the Report Set if Option "1. Save the
  Report Set and continue the submit request" is selected.
