APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Performing a checkout using a dynamic view in IBM Rational
  ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) with a configuration
  specification (config spec) which selects a version other than
  LATEST on the branch results in a checkout of LATEST on that
  branch.
  
  A setting exists to allow web views to checkout the view
  selected version (Window ? Preferences ? IBM Rational ClearTeam
  Explorer ? Dialogs ? Checkout ? 'Checkout the version that is
  loaded even if it is not the latest'.  This setting does not
  change the behavior of dynamic views.
  
  Workaround:
  Use ClearCase Explorer to perform the checkout rather than CTE
