High Priority Fixes
Fix Number Date	Problem Description
T7E1196 10Sept2001	Correct IOF to display the Euro character (x'9F')
T7E1536 26Mar2001	An incorrect error message, "OFFSETYF", is raised when overtyping certain fields for NON-HELD datasets on the Job Summary Panel.
T7E1187 20Mar2001	Abend 0C4 on the "L" command when operating in z/OS 64 bit mode.
T7E1184 11Jan2001	In at least one instance a CSA memory overlay has been observed when a customer installed a new version of JES2 and failed to re-generate IOF for the new JES2. IOF normally provides an error message when JES2 mismatches occur, but in this case there was a JES2 control block change that could not be detected by IOF. This fix prevents the CSA overlay even if the customer fails to re-generate IOF for the new JES2 release. This fix supercedes T7E1160. It should be applied whether or not T7E1160 has already been applied.
T7E1160 2May2000	Replaced by T7E1184 and no longer required.
U7E1501 15Mar2000	A non-authorized user may be permitted to modify the SRVCLASS and QUIESCED fields when operating in GOAL mode.  Note that this maintenance is applied to all 7E tapes shipped after March 15,2000.

Fix Number	Description of Option
Optional fix T7E0612	If there are no jobs on queue at initial IOF entry, release 7E exits with a NO MATCH error message, instead of jumping to the IOF Option menu as releases 7A and 7B did. This optional fix makes IOF stop at the Option Menu like releases 7A and 7B.
