  Code in the processing routines for the QUERY and SET VMRELOCATE
  commands does not check the return code from HCPCFMAN when
  attempting to get console function mode (CFM) serialization for
  the target user.  This can lead to the ABENDDSP001 ( DSP001 )
  or ABENDASR001 ( ASR001 ) if another process is attempting to
  annex CFM or promote to CFM for that same user at the same time.
  

Problem conclusion

• Add code to check the return code from HCPCFMAN in HCPRLJSV
  and HCPRLJQV.  When a non=zero return code is returned,
  attempt up to seven more times to annex CFM.  If CFM is
  not obtained after those eight tries, reject the command
  with return code 1831 and issue the new message HCPRLJ1831E.
  
  Here is the description of the new message which will be
  added to the CP Messages and Codes book (GC24-6177).
  
  HCP1831E  The command could not be completed because of a
            temporary condition. Try again later.
  
  Explanation:  Several attempts were made to process this command
                but a temporary condition existed that prevented
                it from completing.  For example, the proper
                serialization could not be obtained.  The
                condition should clear up after a short amount of
                time.
  
  System Action:  Command processing terminates; system operation
                  continues.
  
  User Response:  An attempt to issue the command again in a
                  little while should work.  If the condition does
                  not clear up after several attempts to re-issue
                  the command, call your system support personnel.
  
  Also, in the CP Commands and Utilities Reference book
  (SC24-6175) add this message to the list of messages that
  can be issued by the QUERY and SET VMRELOCATE commands.
