  ****************************************************************
  The CBKFMAIN File Maintenance Utility job completes with return
  code 8.  The CBKPRINT output contains error message:
  
    CBKFM7808E Value has an invalid character: TRANSID(@ANY)
  
  However the character @ is valid and it should be allowed.
  There are three such characters missing from the allowable
  table:
  
    1.  @ (commercial at)
    2.    (cent sign)
    3.  ª (logical not)
  
  Please note that these three characters would fail similarly
  for TDQueue names because the same table is used to test for
  allowable characters.
  

Problem conclusion

• The table of allowable characters for TRANSID and TDQueue names
  has been updated by adding three characters: @ (commercial at),
    (cent sign) and ª (logical not).
