PI94552: ISSUE WITH TRANSACTION REPORT IN DETAIL REPORT WHEN SKIP FORMATTING = Y

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If Skip Formatting (When Possible) parameter is set to Y and the
  Transaction Report is later requested to be created in the
  Detail Report step, it is possible that it will not be created
  or be created with incorrect data. When the Transaction Report
  is requested, the format step has to run. If there is no other
  need to perform the format step when the Transaction Report is
  requested, then the problem will occur. If there are other items
  already being used or also being added to the job that require
  formatting, then there will not be a problem.
  

Local fix

• Set "Skip formatting (when possible)" to 'N'.
