APAR VM28372 -- Fixes: Bug which prevented TRANSFER of spool files from
                       non-existent userid's.
 
               Bashes: Syntax of class 'D' TRANSFER, requiring class D users
                       to always use "long form" of TRANSFER command.
 
APAR VM29275 -- Fixes: Syntax of class 'D' TRANSFER to work in the tried, true
                       time-honored fashion.
 
               Bashes: Can't find info -- 8802 PSP bucket says this fix is
                       bad and refers to APAR VM30518; haven't called support
                       centre about this yet, so don't know what the problem
                       is.  Maybe someone else can post info if they have it
                       handy?
 
                       Our circumvention for this problem, since installation
                       of HPO 5.0 last December, has been to REMOVE VM28372.
 
(probably) Unrelated to the TRANSFER syntax problems, but also a good
fix to have applied:
 
APAR VM30661 -- Fixes: Problem in DMKWRM with SFBINUSE not getting reset.
                       This leads to "ghost" spool files which QUERY RDR
                       won't display, but which DIAGD8 does find.  Without
                       this fix in place, you have to do a CKPT IPL in order
                       to be able to get your hands on the affected spool
                       files.
 
                       This has been particularly annoying to us because it
                       seems to pick VERY large spool files (upwards of
                       80-100 cylinders of 3380 spool) to hit.  I have only
                       just applied this fix so don't know for sure if
                       it breaks anything else or not.  Sigh...
