  This APAR is correcting the following:
  1. The active session wait time sometimes shows as
  999-23.59.59.99
  2. A loop can occur in CEXSVC01 on ICON V910 system during
  message exit initialization if the XIB does not contain
  ARCH level flags. This issue can manifest itself as
  IMS Connect failing to complete initialization with no
  HWSS0790I appearing in the joblog.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made to correct the above:
  1. Changed active session display panels to deal with
  possibility that wait time can calculate as a negative
  value and be displayed as 999-23.59.59.99.
  Negative wait times are detected and corrected.
  2. Changed CEXSVC01 to properly detect a V910 ICON system
  when the XIB ARCH level flags are 0
