  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Instead of applying the                 *
  *                      user-specified message content          *
  *                      filter to the logs view, an error       *

  ****************************************************************
  The form validation for the fields had required a name to be
  selected for min and max levels.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix allows the form to pass validation if the value is
  blank in the cases where users do not want to filter the level.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
