  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After applying APAR PM59337, RLD        *
  *                      entries are produced in an incorrect    *
  *                      order.                                  *

  ****************************************************************
  APAR PM59337 introduced Conditional Sequential RLDs (CSRs) which
  required addtional information to be stored about the RLDs to
  notify the z/OS Binder whether an RLD was a CSR or not.  The
  storage of this additional information changed the sorting
  routine which orders RLDs thus causing them to be sorted
  incorrectly and therefore produced in the wrong
  order.
  Additionally, the CSR support introduced by PM59337 did
  not retain the order of CSRs required so that the Binder may
  know which RLD takes precedence over another in a CSR list.
  

Problem conclusion

• HLASM has been modified to correct PE APAR PM59337 by
  correcting the order of RLDs being produced.
  Additionally, the order of CSRs encountered in the user program
  is now retained by HLASM for correct processing by the Binder.
