ERROR DESCRIPTION:
When a point-to-point interface is defined with a Subnet_Mask
of 255.255.255.255 in the MPROUTE server configuration file
(MPROUTE CONFIG), the server does not initalize, and the
following error is reported:
DTCMPR7819I Invalid value for Subnet_Mask coded on
OSPF_Interface statement.
A similar message is displayed if the error occurs on a
Rip_Interface or Interface statement.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: z/VM TCP/IP LEVEL 3A0 MPROUTE USERS *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a point to point interface is *
* configured in the MPROUTE CONFIG file *
* with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 *
* an error occurs, and the MPROUTE server *
* will not come up. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF *
****************************************************************
The code that parses the MPROUTE CONFIG file (MPRORYAC)
did not allow a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The parsing code in MPRORYAC was changed to allow
255.255.255.255 as a subnet mask, and the routine doaddrs_inia
in INCONF was changed to allow the 255.255.255.255 subnet mask
for point to point links.
