PQ99219: CLARIFICATION OF DISTRIBUTED TYPE FILTER USAGE IN HELP

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The tutorial explains that using distributed type miscellaneous
  filters (like XID, XUSER,etc) will generally require use of
  wildcards as these fields are of varying length in the log
  records. However, the HELP on the miscellaneous filters panel
  does not mention this, so we now add it there as well.
