Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A USER FORMATS A DOCUMENT FOR A D/T3820 AND DEFINES TWO FONTS
  USING THE 'DEFINE FONT' CONTROL WORD (.DF XXXX AND .DF YYYY).
  FONT XXXX CONTAINS ONLY ONE CHARACTER ROTATION, AND FONT YYYY
  CONTAINS ALL FOUR CHARACTER ROTATIONS, WHICH IS THE NORM FOR
  3820 FONTS. FONT YYYY IS STARTED, USING THE .BF CONTROL WORD,
  AND TEXT IS PLACED. A .PF CONTROL WORD IS THEN USED TO START
  THE PREVIOUS FONT (DEFAULT IN THIS CASE), TEXT IS AGAIN
  PLACED, AND FONT XXXX IS STARTED. AFTER FONT XXXX IS STARTED,
  MSGDSMEFI381E 'REQUESTED CHARACTER ROTATION NOT AVAILABLE IN
  FONT XXXX' OR MSGDSMEFI400T 'UNRECOVERABLE PROGRAM ERROR IN
  DSMTFEFI' IS ISSUED. IF THE PREVIOUS FONT IS STARTED USING A
  .BF RATHER THAN .PF, THE JOB COMPLETES CORRECTLY.

  A USER FORMATS A DOCUMENT FOR A D/T3820 AND DEFINES TWO FONTS
  USING THE 'DEFINE FONT' CONTROL WORD, ONE OF WHICH CONTAINS A
  ROTATION VALUE (.DF YYYY TYPE(90R)) AND THE OTHER DOES NOT (.DF
  XXX). FONT YYYY IS STARTED, USING THE .BF CONTROL WORD, AND TEXT
  IS PLACED. A .PF CONTROL WORD IS SPECIFIED TO START THE
  PREVIOUS FONT (DEFAULT IN THIS CASE), AND TEXT IS PLACED. WHEN
  FONT XXXX IS THEN STARTED, THE CHARACTER ROTATION IS INHERITED
  FROM FONT YYYY RATHER THAN FROM THE DEFAULT FONT WHICH WAS
  STARTED WITH THE .PF CONTROL WORD.
