APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The substitution properties are not working properly when we
  pass two or more parameters to a property. This was working in
  8.0.0.3. It is not appending the dynamic properties in WebSphere
  Compute Grid V8.0.0.4.

  *                      substitution properties on the Job      *
  *                      Scheduler are replaced with an          *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Unresolved symbolics were wrongly being converted to an empty
  string on the Job Scheduler.  The unresolved symbolics should
  have remained as they were in the xJCL so that the endpoint
  would have a chance to resolve them.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code now correctly handles unresolved symbolics on the Job
  Scheduler and passes them as is to the endpoint.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  WebSphere Application Server fixpack 8.5.5.5 and WebSphere
  Compute Grid fixpack 8.0.0.5.  Please refer to the Recommended
