  ****************************************************************
  Module inzctrlp was changed by changing the call to function
  inzcontrolCheckType(). This call was made too early, before the
  attribute mixed or graphic was set for the unloaded column. This
  call has been moved at the correct location.
  

Problem conclusion

• APPLY the PTF.
