Re: MATHSAT and MATRMD broken?

No.  It's not a serious problem and the fact that it wasn't reported
probably indicates that no one in customer land is using it.  I know how
expensive PTFs are to ship so save the money for something important.
I'll remember it is broken and fix it on 450 and 510.

For this exercise I created my own header (since the IBM supplied files in
QSYSINC have the allow update attribute turned off).  If I really want to
fix it in the QSYSINC header.  I'll just patch my header file member to
have the same member level ID as the IBM one, save the member, and then
restore it over the top of the IBM one.  Done this before so I know it
works.  I had to resort to this because I couldn't find the extra bits
that set the internal IBM allow update flag that was preventing me from
editing it directly.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
