Error description

• After applying CICS TS 3.2 PUT0906 All HIPERS & RSU thru 0909, a
  problem occurs when trying to enable a file. After issuing the
  Cemt command: CEMT S FILE(S*) ENA  , there is an error:
  Fil(S*      )
  ERROR. There are no other error messages, abends, or anything.
  Just the 'ERROR' indicating that there is an issue with trying
  to set (S*) ENABLED. The interesting thing here is that the
  problem only occurs when
  UK49670 is applied. Customer ran the CEMT S FILE(S*) ENA with
  the PTF applied and with it removed, and the 'ERROR' problem
  only occurs when the PTF is applied. So, in essence, the error
  that is encountered is the 'ERROR' message being displayed when
  it should not be.

  A command of the form
  
        CEMT S xxx(*) yyy
  
  is issued where xxx is an option type such as PROGRAM, FILE,
  PIPELINE,.... and yyy is some command. For instance for
  pipeline the following happens
  
  SET PI(*) ENA
  STATUS:  RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
   Pip(*       )                                        ERROR
  
  if the cursor is placed over the ERROR and enter is pressed,
  the result  of looking at the error is NOT FOUND.
  
  This problem only arises after PTF UK49670 has been applied.

Problem conclusion

• UK49670
  DFHEMT56 has been amended to remove the phantom error message
  notification that appears as part of the real results after a
  call to CEMT SET xxx yyy, where xxx is an option type and yyy
  is some appropriate command for that type.
