Problem conclusion

• ***************************************************************
  * FIX DESCRIPTION:     Logic in AGGLSPC module was changed to *
  *                      handle a new requirement for CICS TS   *
  *                      4.2 which moves the DFHAFCB trailer in *
  *                      front of the DFHAFCB itself, which     *
  *                      causes a S0C8 when not fixed.          *
  *                      Another change fixes a hypothetical    *
  *                      problem accessing one of the TCAs if   *
  *                      it happens to get swapped out, which   *
  *                      would likely cause a S0C4 in that case.*
