PQ98430: QApply getting MQ 2019 error on MQCLOSE CALL

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ASN0575E "Q Apply" : "ASN4" : "BR00000AG007" : The
  program encountered a WebSphere MQ error "2019" while issuing
  the WebSphere MQ command "MQCLOSE" on queue
  "IBMQREP.SPILL.MODELQ.ASN4.0.9.5".
  
  The MQCLOSE call fails with a 2019.  The purpose of doing the
  MQCLOSE call is to reset the MQ handle and resources.  The 2019
  indicates that the handle object has already been reset
  (probably to an undefined value on ZOS).  We think it is safe to
  tolerate this reason code and not stop.
  
  The new behavior will affect only MQCLOSE calls:
   - Do a MQCLOSE.
   - On success, reset the handle object (specially for ZOS).
   - On failure, tolerate 2019 and reset the handle object (should
  be harmless), continue normally.  Any other error, stop the
  agent.

  - Apply writes trcflow to stdout if asntrc is on.
  - z/OS migration - DPropr 904 due to insufficient index
    attributes
  - QApply getting MQ 2019 error on MQCLOSE call
  - ADDCOL - Capture is sending varchar instead of longVarchar
  

Problem conclusion

• - Apply is writing the trcflow output to stdout (or the trace
    file) even if trcflow is not specified as an invocation
    parameter.  The problem here is that Apply is testing the
    wrong flag before writing the trace output.
  - Tolerate the MQ 2019 error on MQCLOSE.
  - Need to preserve V7 customer uow index attributes,if the
    name is different from official index name.
  - Q Capture should send varchar/vargraphics to apply in
    case of ALTER ADD LongVarChar/longvargraphics.
  - Q Apply will ALTER ADD a varchar/vargraphics
    or a longvarchar/longvargraphics appropriately according to
    the platform.
