APAR status

• Closed as program error.

  matching the corresponding classification. No message
  explaining this is provided, which leads to confusion about
  the suppressed trace.

Problem conclusion

• New messages will now be displayed indicating
  when classification level tracing is toggled on or off.
  
  The BBOO0421I message will be issued when classification
  tracing goes into effect.
  
  The BBOO0422I message will be issued when classification
  tracing that was previously in effect gets disabled.
  
  In either case, you can look for the subsequent BBOJ0129I
  message to see which WLM classification file was loaded that
  caused the change in behavior.
