  *                      does not start its SA-BCPii usage.      *
  ****************************************************************
  Message ING828I is incorrectly issued because of a wrong
  local CPC detection returning incorrect CPCname as the local.
  

Problem conclusion

• - ReXX macro AOFC0172 was changed. The wrong checking
    was corrected to return only the CPCnames as local
    if that is true and its the CPCname to be checked.
  
  - The following ReXX modules have been rebuild in order to
    pick up the changed AOFC0172 macro:
    INGRX806, INGRX810, INGRX815, and INGRX830.
