Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You have a CMAS and WUI server at CICS release 3.2.  It is
  managing MAS's that are CICS 3.1.  You try to install a PIPELINE
  definition into the CICS 3.1 MAS, and receive the following
  error message:
  .
  DFHCA5204 E mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss applid ???????? COIE Command not
  executed. 'RESPWAIT' keyword is not valid.
  .
  The problem is that BAS isn't checking the release of CICS where
  the definition is being installed to make sure that RESPWAIT is
  valid.  It was added as a new paramenter in CICS 3.2 and is not
  valid in a CICS 3.1 region.

  RESPWAIT and POLICYDIR are new PIPEDEF Resource Table attributes
  that were added to CPSM V3R2.
  
  Note: POLICYDIR is a CPSM reserved attribute that is not valid
  in CICS. It can be set through a batch API program, but CICS
  will fail the install request with the DFHCA5402 message if it
  is set.
  
  BAS method BNCF (EYU0BNCF - BAS MAS Support Program - 15) is not
  checking the release of CICS where the definition is being
  installed to make sure that RESPWAIT is valid.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed EYU0BNCF to check the release of CICS when a pipeline
  definition is being installed to make sure that attribute
  RESPWAIT is valid.  Additionally, branched around the code that
  checks POLICYDIR since it is not a valid CICS field.
