Error description

  • Breeze APAR OA42219 covered most of the cases where utilities
    allow an asterisk " * " to be specified as
    input for utility when defining users, and for the utilities
    BZZSMJG1 and BZZSMJIJ when defining approver groups as
    well as when assigning approver groups. Such specification is
    invalid as an approver group or user id containing an asterisk
    is invalid. This fix covers additional case where the custom
    written Breeze Panel code was still able to circumvent the
    checks for an asterisk provided by APAR OA42219.
    
    APAR OA42219 - PTF UA69291 must be installed first before this
    one is installed.
    This APAR replaces file BZZSAPG1.
