This * verb is documented only in the CS/AIX V4 manuals, so it should be * present but only on the back-level CPI-C API. * * PROBLEM SUMMARY: * There was code for xcssb in the back level CPI-C library however * the symbol was not exported correctly when it was linked. * * PROBLEM CONCLUSION: * The linking of the backlevel CPI-C library has been corrected to * export the xcssb symbol. * * Also included in this updated module are fixes for the following APARs: * NONE * *+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ * * INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: * __________________________ * * iy46753.tar.Z ("this fix" in the steps below) is a compressed tar archive * file containing the updated modules and this readme. * * * To install this fix: * _____________________________ * * ** Downloading the file: * * 1) Be SURE to download this fix in BINARY format. * * 2) Check the output of sum against the updated module after * uncompressing and untarring this fix.
