  THIS APAR ADDRESSES TWO PROBLEMS.
  - ENQUEUE CONFLICT BETWEEN BPLTRACE PROC AND BPLGTF PROC
    FOR THE GTF.PARMLIB DATASET.
  - ABEND0C1 IN MODULE BPLDIR WHEN NO GTF 440 RECORDS ARE
    PRESENT IN THE TRACE DATASET BEING REPORTED.
  

Problem conclusion

• - THE GTF.PARMLIB DATASET WILL BE DYNAMICALLY DEALLOCATED ONCE
    THE TRACE COLLECTION PARAMETERS ARE IN PLACE.
  - ADD MESSAGE 'BPL542E' WHEN THERE ARE NO BUFFER POOL ANALYZER
    TRACE RECORDS IN THE TRACE DATASET.
  THE FOLLOWING TWO MESSAGES ARE BEING ADDED:
  BPL542E  NO BUFFER POOL ANALYZER TRACE RECORDS FOUND IN THE
  FIRST TRACE DATASET
  EXPLANATION:
     THE FIRST GTF TRACE DATASET DID NOT CONTAIN THE REQUIRED
     BUFFER POOL ANALYZER TRACE RECORDS.
  SYSTEM ACTION:
     THE REPORTING UTILITY ABENDS.
  PROGRAMMER RESPONSE:
     VERIFY THAT THE BPLTRACE STARTED TASK COMPLETED
     SUCCESSFULLY. ERRORS IN THIS TASK COULD RESULT
     IN FAILURE TO RECORD THE REQUIRED TRACE RECORDS.
  BPL300W  DYNAMIC UNALLOC FAILED RC=XX ERROR CODE=XXXX
  INFO CODE=XXXX
  EXPLANATION:
     DYNAMIC UNALLOCATION OF THE SYSLIB DD FAILED WITH THE
     INDICATED RETURN CODE AND DYNAMIC ALLOCATION ERROR AND
     INFORMATION CODES.
  SYSTEM ACTION:
     THE BPLTRACE TASK CONTINUES.
  PROGRAMMER RESPONSE:
     SHOULD AN ENQUEUE CONFLICT OCCUR FOR THE GTF.PARMLIB
     DATASET BETWEEN THE BPLTRACE AND BPLGTF TASKS, CANCEL
     BOTH TASKS. CONTACT THE SUPPORT CENTER FOR ASSISTANCE.
