  ****************************************************************
  After return from the TCP/IP SELECT command, AP 119 was using
  the wrong register to address the control block containing the
  TCP/IP error information.  Depending on whether the register
  pointed to storage owned by the APL2 process, abends or
  bad error information in the AP 119 result could occur.
  

Problem conclusion

• AP 119 has been changed to use the correct register to
  obtain the error information.
