 ERROR DESCRIPTION:
 User has migrated from z/VM R510 to z/VM R520 and MPROUTE
 will not initialize with messages:
 EZZ7830I Syntax error at line xx of OMPROUTE configuration file
          processing -
 EZZ8074I OMPROUTE processing error
 EZZ7805I OMPROUTE exiting abnormally - RC(12)
 .
 The problem was reported to z/OS OMPROUTE by apar PK16220 closed
 FIN. Problem was reported to z/VM MPROUTE by apar PQ47012 in an
 earlier z/VM release, it was closed INCORROUT.
 
 LOCAL FIX:
 A wildcarded IP address can be used without the NAME parameter
 in most configurations to bypass the problem:
 
 OSPF_Interface
   IP_Address=10.10.10.*
   Subnet_Mask=255.255.255.0
 ;

 ****************************************************************
 * USERS AFFECTED: All users of MPRoute.                        *

 * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF                                    *
 ****************************************************************
 The syntax rules for the TCPIP PROFILE allow interface names
 to contain a hyphen (-). However, MPROUTE's syntax rules for
 interface names do not allow hyphens. As a result, if an
 interface name contains a hyphen, MPROUTE will abort after
 issuing the message:
    EZZ7830I Syntax error at line xx of MPROUTE configuration
             file processing -
 
 PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
 MPRoute has been modified to allow hyphens in interface names.
