  ****************************************************************
  HPCABAT0 does not ensure a MAXLOG RC value.  This leads to the
  job finishing with RC=0 and no HPC1310I message is issued even
  though the MAXIMUM LOGS threshold is met.
  HPCSBAT0 omits the syntax and use/meaning of MAXLGRC and this
  is not intuitive.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• HPCABAT0 is changed to check for parameter MAXLOG
  RC=nn/MAXLGRC=nn if parameter MAXIMUM LOGS=nnn/MAXLOGS=nnn is
  specified.  If MAXIMUM LOGS=nnn/MAXLOGS=nnn is specified but
  MAXLOG RC=nn/MAXLGRC=nn is omitted, then default return code
  value 1 is set for MAXLOG RC=nn/MAXLGRC=nn.
  
  HPCSBAT0 in SHPCSAMP is updated to show the syntax and meaning
  of the MAXLGRC parameter.
