APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using IBM Transformation Extender 10.1.1.x with the Memory
  Link adapter under Launcher and a sequence of map rules with
  first the calculation of the HANDLEIN() for a later input
  override, followed by a PUT() to the MLINK adapter (triggering
  another map possibly) and finally doing a RUN() function, using
  the previously calculated result from the HANDLEIN().
  
  The symptoms may include a crash of the process running
  the mpa (such as the Launcher).
