IT14426: MODULE AND SCHEMA LEVEL REFERENCE VARIABLES NOT BEING RESET AFTER PROPAGATE WITH DELETE IN COMPUTE NODE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a user has a REFERENCE variable declared at the module or
  schema level which points at either OutputRoot,
  OutputLocalEnvironment or OutputExceptionList and performs a
  PROPAGATE without specifying DELETE NONE in a compute node, then
  it is not defined what the REFERENCE variable will be left
  pointing at. After the PROPAGATE the Output trees are deleted
  and the REFERENCE variables should be reset to point at the root
  of the newly created trees. The module and schema level
  reference variables are not being reset and are thus left to
  point at the original syntax element which they were pointing at
  which will now have been reset leading to unexpected results.
