Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When CEXEXRTR cannot obtain the information necessary for the
  type X'3E' event record because the SVT entry is missing or the
  OTMA structure is not valid, it returned the message to the
  remote client with an RSM RSN=97. This is not proper as it can
  mask a real error and can reduce the availability of IMS
  Connect.
