 ERROR DESCRIPTION:
 Issuing the RSCS Shutdown command when there are TLS-enabled
 TCPNJE links in the connected state, may cause the active SSL
 server to abend.  When this occurs, TLS enabled TN3270 sessions
 may be hung until the SSL server is recycled.

 may be hung until the SSL server is recycled.
 
 PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
 When a close request is presented to the SSL server for a
 connection that has already been closed, there is no need
 to take any action on the connection.  The SSL server should
 just send the notice to the stack and select the next handler.
 SSLCTLIO has been updated to follow the process outlined above.
