  IP PrintWay termination routines due not serialize use of the
  queue file correctly during abnormal termination or cancellation
  of an FSA. This results in an abend0C4 in module ANFQSCAN and
  in obsolete queue file entries. The obsolete records results
  in IP PrintWay hanging or terminating with JES abends upon
  restart.
  

Problem conclusion

• The IP PrintWay task termination and recovery routines have bee
  changed to serialize use of the queue file and to ensure all
  obsolete records are erased prior to task or address space
  termination.
