  * Message EZYFS31W (FTP reply catalog returned an unexpected   *

  * reply message catalog is used.                               *

  ****************************************************************
  APAR PH42618 updated the FTP reply message catalog but did not
  recompile all users of the message catalog. This causes the
  check for the FTP reply message catalog level to fail. An
  EZYFS31W (FTP reply catalog returned an unexpected timestamp
  message) is written and the default message catalog is used.
  This prevents an NLS catalog from being used for the FTP
  replies.
  

Problem conclusion

• All modules that open the FTP reply message catalog are
  recompiled to use the latest FTP reply message catalog.
