  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * This APAR provides the ability to use INITIAL or CURRENT     *
  * application context to capture application associated data   *
  * within your CICS region or regions.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Apply the PTF and perform the HOLD ACTION items.             *
  ****************************************************************
  When you require CICS IA to collect Application Data it will now
  capture INITIAL or CURRENT application context as an application
  associated data depending on your desire.
  To use this feature in CICS IA plug-in you will need to upgrade
  your CICS Explorer IA plug-in to 5.3.2.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been changed to give the customer an option to choose
  what application context will be gathered collecting Application
  Data.
