Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• This APAR provides the following new functionalities:
  1) FPA, FPO and FP stand-alone DB Sensor support wildcard
     or range specification for IAREA/OAREA/AREA keywords.
     This enhancement is being implemented as a result of FITS
     requirement MR052212236 and MR061412676.
  2) FPA and FP stand-alone DB Sensor include timestamp with
     messages.
     This enhancement is being implemented as a result of FITS
     requirement MR0523122623.

  1. IAREA/OAREA/AREA keywords supports wildcard or range
     specification.
     1-1. Wildcard are the asterisk(*) and the percent(%) symbol.
          An asterisk(*) represents from 0 to 8 character, whereas
          a percent(%) symbol represents a sigle character.
          For example, AREA=area% matches area1, area2 and so on;
          AREA=area* matches area, area1, area1234, and so on.
     1-2. Range can be the range of area numbers, or the range of
          area names.
          For example, AREA=(1-5) means the areas from area number
          1 to area number 5; AREA=(AREA1-AREA5) means the areas
          from AREA1 to AREA5, interpreted in alphabetical order.
          This enhancement is being implemented as a result of
          FITS requirement MR052212236 and MR061412676.
  2. A new keyword MSTIMESTAMP=NO|LOCAL has been added to the
     GLOBAL command for FPA and FP Stand-alone DB Sensor. When
     MSTIMESTAMP=LOCAL, a local timestamp is included in the
     messages.
     This enhancement is being implemented as a result of FITS
     requirement MR0523122623.
  3. FPA INDEXBLD command outputs total segments to include loaded
     plus suppressed segments in the Secondary Index Processing
     report.
     This enhancement is being implemented as a result of FITS
     requirement MR0523123541.
  4. This APAR also addressed the following problems:
     4-1. FPA RELOAD received ABENDU3205 when all following
          conditions are satisfied:
          - Multiple areas of a DEDB are reloaded from multiple
            input USR data sets.
          - The area number of areas specified in the IAREA
            keyword is not in ascending order.
     4-2. FPA CHANGE received ABENDU3205 when all following
          conditions are satisfied:
          - Multiple areas of a DEDB are reloaded from multiple
            input ADSs.
          - The area number of areas specified in the IAREA
            keyword is not in ascending order.
          - The process is the REORG mode.
     4-3. FPA REORG hung all following conditions are satisfied:
          - Multiple areas of a DEDB are reorganized.
          - The area number of areas specified in the IAREA
            keyword is not in ascending order.
     In addition to these conditions, if ITASKCTL=1 and
     OTASKCTL=1 are specified, this problem absolutely occurs.
     Even if ITASKCTL=1 and OTASKCTL=1 are not specified,
     this problem can occur depending on specification in the
     IAREA keyword.
