Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Customers using the classic ASF functions    *
  *                 for composition of a document in conjunction *
  *                 with the exit program CUSLCME (former name   *
  *                 FSNLCME) for customization of the final      *
  *                 processing of the document including the     *
  *                 display or suppression of panel              *
  *                 Document-Composition Termination             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If the process of composing a document  *
  *                      using the classic ASF functions         *
  *                      involves the invocation of customer-    *

  *                      invocation may cause a loop. In this    *
  *                      loop ASF invokes the exit program       *

  ****************************************************************
  If the process of composing a document using the classic ASF
  functions involves the invocation of customer-exit program
  CUSLCME (former name was FSNLCME) an abnormal termination of
  CUSLCME or a severe error upon its invocation may cause a loop.
  ASF instead needs to prevent a further invocation of the exit
  program CUSLCME and has to display the Document-Composition
  Termination panel with an error message.
  

Problem conclusion

• Module FSNLCTM has been changed to prevent the loop and to
  display the Document-Composition Termination panel with an error
  message.
  

Temporary fix
