APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
After upgrading to Visual Studio 2017 or later, audited builds on Windows hosts may be incomplete with various non-Makefile dependencies not listed. This will appear most often in the "linked" objects. Newer Visual Studio releases no longer explicitly close library and other files read during the link process. Instead, they allow the operating system to close the files after the process exits. As the closes happened outside the audited process, the MVFS and build tools did not record those files as being part of the audit.
Local fix
Update to 9.0.1.8 and contact technical support for a testfix for this issue.
