  *                      exit has  been specified.               *
  *                      2. The size of the record position      *

  ****************************************************************
  1. File Manager is testing if the ISPF Packing option has been
  selected for load module compare when it does not apply. When
  the options panel is redisplayed the cursor is positioned on
  a field which does not exist causing an error and the loop.
  2. The size of the record field on the DBCS list panels is
  incorrect.
  3. The IO Exit option field is not being translated correctly on
  the Replace and Copy Edit/View panels.
  

Problem conclusion

• File Manager has been changed to correct the problem.
