PM81036: REMOVE INTERFACE PARAMETER NUMBER CHECK AND SUPPORT MULTIPLE "INIT(INID)...EOF" CALLS FOR FABCUR7

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Adjust FABCUR7 to not check the number of interface parameter(s)
  and to support multiple "INIT(INID)...EOF" calls for FABCUR7.
  
  This is a forward fit of FPSP V1R1 APAR PM72627.

  ****************************************************************
  Forward Fit APAR of FPSP V1R1 PM72627:
  This APAR addresses the following enhancements:
  1. FABCUR7 ignores the extra parameter(s) in the interface
     parameter list.
  2. FABCUR7 allows multiple "INIT(INID)-GET(GET1/GET2)-EOF"
     calls, which means that FABCUR7 continues to process if
     INIT (INID) call is issued after the EOF call.
