  This APAR is correcting several problems as well as adding
  enhancements to IMS Connect Extensions. They are as follows:
  DTL attributes needed JUST(RIGHT) instead of JUST(LEFT) for
  CEXMLOGP.
  Problem with logic in CEXCMDS checking for 1st byte = 'N'.
  Corrected code in the Security Command section of CEXCONS.
  Code was not checking the return from $BRACP macro, so it was
  always dropping through to set RC=00. Added proper return code
  checking and appropriate error handling.
  Journal switch command was not honoring user message concept.
  Correct message is now displayed on TAKEUP.
  Validation tightened to check for non load library to prevent
  ABEND S806 on TAKEUP.
  CEXJDSEP panel logic altered to disallow NOARC & WAIT.
  SET TRACE command re-issued now gives previous values and an
  error message if required.
  Correct building of Affinity List cache in CEXCONS.
  SET TRACE Log message corrected in CEXCONS.
  Msg CEX5010 and CEX5011 now issued to CEX LOG.
  Msg about PACING WARNING change made consistent.
  Candidate cache was not being rebuilt after override flag
  changed.
  Corrected error checking in Console Services.
  Appended query with'A' or 'T' depending on type for DS/DSG/AFF
  prompt lists.
  Corrected CEXEVTPR report to add , to end of 8 byte connect
  name.
  Removed unused messages from CEXMSGT.
  Added the 'client' keywords to both the client port number and
  client IP address report line for CEXEVTPR report.
  Converted all port number references to display in decimal
  rather than hex for CEXEVTPR report.
  Coding error corrected where the code was comparing first byte
  (C'*') only which meant that both *REQSTS* and *REQMOD* were
  being processed instead of just the former.
  S0C1 during RELOAD when extent being taken on user Exit
  LOADLIB was corrected.
  SET TRANS with override off corrected and a new message added.
