  1. IMS PA incorrectly reports Cancelled transactions in form-
  based reports as completion level=4 and without a start time.
  2. MONITOR Program Trace may not report any transaction events
  3. Abended transactions in a program-switch chain may not be
  reported
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made for the above issues:
  1. Cancelled transaction remain as completion level=0, Start
  time assigned.
  2. "Entry in use" flag may not be reset causing transaction
  events to be skipped.
  3. Transactions that abended then requeued and processed
  successfully are only reported once, when in fact they are
  two (or more) transactions.
  4. Add IMSPALOG LOGINFO command in batch to allow for LOGINFO
  stats to be produced without any IMS PA reports being processed.
  5. Sundry Dialog updates:  Validation processing, Error
  handling Message updates
  6. Add a failure code of "REJECT" for Rejected transactions,
  currently blank.
