Resolution

The WARN option was introduced by Ptf RO55864.  The problem description of the ptf gives good details of 
it's function.

Problem Description:                                                
USING THE PROPOGATE FUNCTION MAY END WITH A RETURN CODE OF 04 IN THE BATCH INTERFACE IF ONE OF THE REGIONS IS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS PTF ADDS A CONFIGURATION OPTION TO THE SYSID DEFINITION SCREEN, 'WARN=' WHICH ENABLES A CLIENT TO DECIDE WHAT RETURN CODE WILL BE GIVEN WHEN THIS SITUATION OCCURS.

'WARN=Y' WILL CAUSE AN RC=04 TO BE PRODUCED, AND 'WARN=N' WILL YIELD AN RC=0. THE DEFAULT WILL BE 'WARN=Y' SO THAT CLIENTS APPLYING THIS PTF WILL HAVE FUNCTIONALITY IDENTICAL TO BEFORE THE PTF WAS APPLIED WITHOUT SETTING THIS NEW OPTION.
