IJ33456: INVENTORY USAGE HANGS WHEN STATUS IS CHANGED TO A SYNONYM OF ENTERED AND A CONDITIONAL EXPRESSION EXISTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DESCRIPTION:
  When a synonym status of 'ENTERED' is selected by the User to
  change the status of an Inventory Usage record from ENTERED to
  the synonym of ENTERED, the UI hangs at the "Please Wait" box
  in the Change Status dialog. The log shows that the status
  change was made but the UI does not recover and has to be
  exited by the User.
  
  The issue occurs only when a Conditional Expression for the
  synonym value of 'ENTERED' exists for the Usage Lines section
  of the Inventory Usage application.
