*  ROPES Version 12.0 Fix RMC12024 to base Version 12.0 - 07/26/2006  *
*                 This fix applies to ROPES V12.0.                    *

*Installation Instructions
*    1. Create the data set to receive the TRANSMITed data set.  The
*       JCL in ALLOC.JCL will do this for you. Upload this job and
*       tailor it for your installation.  Run the job to create the
*       data set.
*    2. Upload the .XMI files to the data sets created in step 1. The
*       OBJECT.XMI file is uploaded to the &SYSUID.RMC12024.OBJECT.XMI
*       data set, etc.
*    3. Upload the INSTALL.JCL file.  Tailor this job for your in-
*       stallation and run the job to install the modification.

*RMC12024 - 03/24/2008 - ROPEBLRL logic will loop and eventually overrun
*                        dynamic storage if SHOW EMPTY REPORTS is set to
*                        N and all the reports in the input data set
*                        (ROPERIB or ROPEALR) are empty.
*
*Problem Summary:
*    The logic that bypasses empty reports when SHOW EMPTY REPORTS is
*    set to N increments the COMMAREA target pointer but does not count
*    the entry as being in use.  As a result, it is possible that the
*    module will overrun the storage obtained for the COMMAREA.
*
*    Once the overrun in ROPEBLRL is resolved, the same error may occur
*    in ROPEROAL or ROPERORL if no entries are returned by ROPEBLRL.
*
*Symptoms:
*    The RORL or ROAL transaction abends with an ASRA (0C4) and/or and
*    AKEA when the storage overrun occurs.
*
*Temporary Fix:
*    The following replacement object modules must be obtained from
*    technical support:
*        ROPEBLRL
*        ROPEROAL
*        ROPERORL
*
*Permanent Fix:
*    This problem will be corrected by PTF in the next release of
*    ROPES.
