IO20648: SAYING CLOSE CASH DRAWER EVEN WITH THE CASH DRAWER CLOSED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• We have registers saying close cash drawer even with the cash
  drawer
   closed this is happening in multiple stores if you reload the
  register
   this goes away I was able to get a dump of one of these
  included are
   the dump, event logs, options, module level
  

Local fix

Problem summary

•  The basic issue appears to be that someone is
  eating an interrupt.  The cash drawer closes,
  but we are not notified of the state change.
  In both Classic and Enhanced, we rely on the
  interrupt notification from the HW to know that
  something is happened and we should take
  notice.
  

Problem conclusion

•  The receiver of the interrupts (iosub in
  Enhanced) is going to be augmented with a
  function that continues to check for
  interrupts - but also periodically checks
  the status of the cash drawer (byte 0 is
  really all that is important from a status
  perspective).
  

Temporary fix
