APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• mod_zos_cmds incorrectly reports the number of lingering close
  connections as zero. This is because mod_zos_cmds counts the
  number of threads in the lingering close state instead of
  counting the number of connections.

  ****************************************************************
  mod_zos_cmds incorrectly reports the number of lingering close
  connections as zero. This is because the lingering close state
  is a state of a connection and not a thread, but the number of
  threads in the lingering close state are counted. Instead,
  the number of connections in the lingering close state should
  be counted.
  

Problem conclusion

• mod_zos_cmds was updated to report the number of connections
  in the lingering close state instead of the number of threads.
  
  This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server fix packs:
   - 9.0.0.4
