    Severity: Low
    
    Users Affected:

    Problem Description
    -------------------
      1. The default option in EASYTRAN is FASTSORT=YES but the
         Reference Manual
         states that the default is FASTSORT=NO.
    
    Problem Summation
    -----------------
      1. The default option in EASYTRAN is truly FASTSORT=YES.
    
      The original implementation of FASTSORT= option was set to
      FASTSORT=YES. It should have been FASTSORT=NO.
      The wrong default was implemented when the FASTSORT= option
      was added to IMU.
      APAR: PH26442
      PTF:  UI70417
    
    Problem Conclusion:
    ------------------
      1. The FASTSORT=YES default in EASYTRAN macro was changed to
         FASTSORT=NO.
    
    Changed modules:
    ------------------
       FSOFT01.V4R1M0.SFSYFJCC
          EASYTRAN  - Existing CCL1 macro byte code
    
    Special instructions
    --------------------
    There are no special installation instructions.
    
    Action:
    ---------------------------------
    1. Apply prerequisites
    2. Apply this APAR.
