  as the value for 'actchn' is no longer a valid numeric.

  ****************************************************************
  When listing channels in the Ops and Control panels
  (CSQOREXX), if multiple receiver instances are
  present for a given channel (e.g. a cluster receiver)
  and some of those channels are in a PAUSED state, then
  the panel may terminate with the following error:
  
    2159 +++                       actchn = actchn + 1
    1966 +++                  call updtsumm
     294 +++       call Buildpanel
     229 +++      call DisplayList
  Error running CSQORLST, line 2159: Bad arithmetic conversion
  

Problem conclusion

• When attempting to correlate multiple instances of the same
  named channel, the code does not anticipate that some of the
  instances might be in a PAUSED state.
  
  Processing has been amended to ensure that channels in a PAUSED
  state are correlated correctly.
