Issue/Introduction

A script object to check for availability of hosts in a hostgroup does not always return correct/expected result with PREP_PROCESS_AGENTGROUP
Example script paragraph:

:SET &HND# = PREP_PROCESS_AGENTGROUP("&HOSTGROUP1#",,ALL)
:PROCESS &HND_SOAP#
: SET &STATUS# = GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND_SOAP#,2)
: SET &HOST# = GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND_SOAP#,1)
: P &HOST# &STATUS#
:ENDPROCESS

• If the script paragraph comes alone, it returns correct agents' status
• If the script comes in many paragraph, it returns incorrect or none result from the second paragraph

Cause

• It is confirmed a bug with host group resolving.
