APAR status

Error description

• During the import of data, SLMTAG files might be reported as
  correct files, despite containing issues preventing their actual
  import.
  
  Such issues are recorded in the DEBUG mode only and
  statistics presented in the import log may lead to the
  impression that everything works properly, despite data being
  discarded.
