Error description

  • The AFM control command mmafmctl, run with the getstate
    option and the -Y flag, reports an incorrect value in the
    numExec field if the number of operations played at home
    since the fileset last became active exceeds 2147483647
    (0x7FFFFFFF).  Depending on the actual number of
    operations, the reported value might be negative or
    simply smaller than the correct value.
    

Local fix

  • When run without the -Y flag:
    "mmafmctl <fs> getstate"
    displays the correct value for numExec.

    getstate -Y format  is no longer showing a
    negative value
    
    Work around: NO
