  On a normal shut down, the Gateway daemon does not wait for
  outstanding work on the IPIC connections to complete before
  closing the IPIC connections
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS TG has been corrected. In-flight requests are allowed to
  complete before IPIC connections are closed when a normal shut
  down is requested.
