PH50418: AUDIT LOG SHOWS CONTENTRETURN="0" FOR A CARD WHERE WE SHOULD HAVE CONTENTRETURN="21"

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It may be noted that IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) maps that
  end creating invalid output data do not generate a correct
  return on the contentreturn of the audit log for the appropriate
  output card.
  
  When the <ExecutionSummary> shows mapreturn="14" and
  <Message>One or more outputs was invalid</Message>, at least one
  of the output cards should show the 14 code in content return.
  
  For example:
  
  <outputstatus   card="1"   bytes="12"   adapterreturn="0"
  contentreturn="0"/>
  <outputstatus   card="2"   bytes="34"   adapterreturn="0"
  contentreturn="14"/>
  <outputstatus   card="3"   bytes="56"   adapterreturn="0"
  contentreturn="0"/>
  
  Instead all output cards show 0 in content return:
  
  <outputstatus   card="1"   bytes="12"   adapterreturn="0"
  contentreturn="0"/>
  <outputstatus   card="2"   bytes="34"   adapterreturn="0"
  contentreturn="0"/>
  <outputstatus   card="3"   bytes="56"   adapterreturn="0"
  contentreturn="0"/>
