  1. Submit a plan.
  2. Submit another plan, as paused.
  3. Run wcntpln -f <paused_plan>, where paused_plan is the name of the plan submitted in step 2.

The command changes the status of the activities and targets to Cancelled for the <paused_plan> as expected, but it also changes the status of some targets of the previously submitted plan (that have been started) to Cancelled.

APAR IY58751

Abstract:

APAR IY61061

Abstract:
There is an error in PLANS_DB2_MVS_CUSTOM_SCHEMA.SQL. The V_PLAN_STATUS view is declared twice, and the first declaration is incorrect.
Error Description:
