IJ44491: ENABLE/DISABLE PTRASH LOCAL BIT SETTING CODE THROUGH AFMREVALOPWAITTIMEOUT CONFIGURABLE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Code to set ptrash as local was designed to be
  enabled if afmRevalOpWaitTimeout remains at
  its default value. But it's highly unlikely it
  stays default in a customer environment.
  

Local fix

• Setting the afmRevalOpWaitTimeout to its default value
  of 180 will ensure ptrash is set to local
  

Problem summary

• Code to set ptrash as local was designed to be
  enabled if afmRevalOpWaitTimeout remains at
  its default value. But it's highly unlikely it
  stays default in a customer environment.

  Benefits of the solution:
  Ability to tune ptrash local bit setting behavior by
  tuning the afmRevalOpWaitTimeout/
  
  Work around:
  Setting the afmRevalOpWaitTimeout to its default value
  of 180 will ensure ptrash is set to local.
