 ERROR DESCRIPTION:
 After applying APAR PQ76098, the VMSSL EXEC no longer propagates
 values defined in the DTCPARMS file to the Linux environment.
 Coincident with this problem is the erroneous reporting of a
 QUERY DISK command failure, as seen in the messages that follow:
 
   DTCSSL2428I Port 9999 is used for SSL administration.
   DTCSSL2446I DTCPARMS values:
   DTCSSL2446I stop
   DTCSSL2437E Unexpected result from command: QUERY DISK
   DTCSSL2437E RC=0
   DTCSSL2431W DTCPARMS values cannot be passed to the SSL server
 
 LOCAL FIX:
 
 PROBLEM SUMMARY:
 ****************************************************************
 * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the z/VM TCP/IP SSL Server      *
 ****************************************************************
 * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The SSL server erroneously reports a    *
 *                      QUERY DISK command failure and does not *
 *                      propagate values defined in a DTCPARMS  *
 *                      file, after APAR PQ76098 updates have   *
 *                      been applied.                           *
 ****************************************************************
 * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF                                    *
 ****************************************************************
 The updates provided by APAR PQ76098 for the VMSSL EXEC do not
 provide complete code changes necessary to accommodate the use
 of 4-digit device numbers for the IPLDEVICE and TRANSDEVICE
 operands.  Because of this, the results for a QUERY DISK
 command issued from within this exec are not properly
 evaluated, and a failure is reported for this command.  The
 evaluation errors lead to a condition which indicates that SSL
 server command operands (defined within a DTCPARMS file) cannot
 be passed on to the 'vmssl' deamon process that runs in the
 Linux environment.
 
 PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
 Logic within the "PlaceOnDisk" routine has been updated to
 adjust QUERY DISK command output, to allow for the correct
 comparison of certain data fields with a given 4-digit virtual
 device number.
