PM86940: UNLOAD PLUS INFILE IMAGECOPY -N GENERATES INCORRECT FIC

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In UNLOAD PLUS syntax, when INFILE IMAGECOPY -n is specified to
  unload from an image copy, HPU does not select the correct FIC
  to read from.  The only value that is processed correctly is
  INFILE IMAGECOPY 0 that selects the most recent image copy.
  Therefore, when INFILE IMAGECOPY n is specified with n<0, the
  image copy that is used corresponds to the one that should have
  been selected with a value of n+1.
  For example: INFILE IMAGECOPY -1 selects the FIC corresponding
  to 0, INFILE IMAGECOPY -2 selects the FIC corresponding to -1,
  etc.  The UNLOAD PLUS behavior is not respected, and INFILE
  IMAGECOPY 0 selects the same FIC as INFILE IMAGECOPY -1.
