APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When creating a Content or Equals VPs in a test suite, user has
  the possibly to create an XML fragment on a subpart of the
  message.
  It appears that when the 'Regular Expression' option is checked
  in the Tree view of the Test Suite Editor, the Content or Equal
  VP is not properly evaluated.
  For example, it could be abusively reported as failed whereas
  the regular expression would normally match the returned data at
  execution time.
