Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• We have identified a number of defects with auxiliary edit when
  used with the FM plugin and also with Auxiliary edit file in
  the ISPF environment.
  
  Three issues-
  - Unique naming of the auxiliary data set in a 'plugin'
    environment
  - Auxiliaty edit ds should be 'cleaned up' if timeout or loss of
    connection and
  - SMS issues with the DEFINE of the dataset - should not inherit
    management class of the original dataset.
  
  Also , ensure values from options modules are used if
  specified.

  data set name when the edit has been initiated from the Eclipse
  interface.
  2. File Manager will delete the auxiliary data set when the File
  Manager session is cancelled or times out.
