Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A browse for a table that is still loading, and the key is
  higher then the currently highest key in the table. DFHCFRQ
  is calling routine ROCHKLD and this wants to issure a different
  CF request to check the list and see werther the part of the key
  range has been loaded yet. The logiv is not reseting the request
  options in CROPT before this call, so the KGE option bit remains
  on and the call is rejected as having unsupported options
  specified on it because of this.

  ****************************************************************
  A coupling facility datatable (CFDT) is being opened by CICS and
  is in the process of being loaded when a browse request with
  gteq for the ridfld is made against it from another CICS.
  (The GTEQ adverb means the greater than or equal option).
  DFHCFRQ has to inspect the list structure to see whether any
  higher key has been added to the table. The call to perform
  this check reuses the parameter list area set up for the browse
  but the request options byte is not reset prior to the call.
  This means the KGE (key greater or equal) indicator bit is set
  on still, and this results in a logic error being trapped.
  Message DFHCF0999I is issued and abend AFCZ returned to the
  application browsing the table.

Problem conclusion

• DFHCFRQ has been modified to clear the CROPT flag byte in the
  request plist before making the CALLCFR INL call.
