Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users who issue the PANEL ADB2GEN command.   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Command PANEL ADB2GEN + ENTER results   *
    *                      in hang.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply The PTF.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    Unexpected results  occur when user  invokes panel ADB2GEN out
    of context; i.e, through the PANEL command. The reason is that
    necessary initialization for ADB2GEN panel was not performed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • If  the  command is  used to  invoke a panel  that expects  some
    set-up to occur before invocation, unexpected results may occur.
    A doc  change will  clarify when  the PANEL command can be used.
    Also, error message ADB357E will be issued from ADB2GEN upon the
    detection of an invalid caller.
