CR 1-9QKYED
The renaming of a tracelog file when full fails if not enough room exists in the last qualifier for appending a numeric suffix. To fix this, the last qualifier of a sequential  data set is now shortened appropriately when a numeric suffix is appended to the name when the tracelog file gets full.The suffix is either 1 or 2 characters depending on whether FILE_COUNT is less than or equal to 10 (up to 9) or greater than 10.

CR 1-A2IWS1
BusinessWorks could not specify a File Adapter tag for VSAM RRN (a##$RBARRN$##a) because of  invalid characters. A duplicate tag is now provided that can be used by BusinessWorks (aXxXRBARRNXxXa). The original tag is now deprecated.

CR 1-A32TN9
Message handling changed to now check for valid message pointers before destroying messages.

CR 1-A3RKF2
Out of sequence processing of records with ECM.  Subscriber acknowledgement to Publisher has been changed such that any missing out of sequence messages are resent by the publisher.  Last End-of-File message handled in same way.
