  ****************************************************************
  Error messages encountered by HYPERSWAP QUIESCE commands and
  their related return codes are not being seen by the userid
  issuing the command.  The messages are only issued to the
  OPERATOR console.
  
  The actual quiesce task for a specified device or range of
  devices was previously changed to no longer run on the VMDBK of
  the guest who issued the command.  This caused any error
  messages to no longer be issued back to the command issuer and
  for the return code from the message to be lost as well.
  

Problem conclusion

• PE VM65897
  
  The QUIESCE command was updated to pass the command issuer's
  VMDBK address as input to the stacked quiesce routine.  This is
  now used as the target VMDBK for any error messages which may
  need to be issued.  A data area was also passed to allow the
  return code from any error message issued to be returned to the
  guest who issued the QUIESCE command.
