  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Before APAR PM63746, IMS SPOC function  *
  *                      CSLULGTP fell into a loop and consumed  *
  *                      100% CPU if the OM task was missing or  *
  *                      stopped.                                *
  *                                                              *
  *                      After the FIXTEST for APAR PM63746 had  *
  *                      been sent, it was discovered that the   *
  *                      CSLULGTP function completed with RC=0,  *
  *                      IMSRC=0 and IMSREASON=0, even when the  *
  *                      command failed because OM was missing.  *
  *                                                              *
  *                      These return/reason codes do not allow  *
  *                      the user to determine that the command  *
  *                      failed and react to the error in their  *
  *                      REXX programs.                          *

  ****************************************************************
  The CSLULGTP function has a logic error.  After the call to SCI
  it does not check the return code and continues executing as if
  the call to SCI was successful even after a critical error.
  

Problem conclusion

• GEN:
  KEYWORDS:
  
  *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
  The following part was changed:
    CSLULGTP
  
  The CSLULGTP function was modified so that after a call to SCI
  it checks the return code, and in the case of a non-zero return
  code, it now sets the REXX IMSRC and IMSREASON variables to the
  appropriate values and ends.
