Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• 1. IMS x'6701' records contain DC Communications Trace event
  data. In IMS PI browse mode the default description is currently
  'Communications Trace ID=XXXX' where XXXX is the specific trace
  identifier from the record. To improve readability and ease of
  use, the description will now use the following format: 'XXXX
  trace event description' (e.g. 'CVCT VTAM Trace/Abort').
  2. Updates are required to some Knowledge Modules as a result of
  IMS service updates and to improve readability when browsing.
  This is a result of IMS service up to PUT1803.
