CIW 2RC SIG,

The SIG met for 2 hours to discuss a refined proposal from the June CIW.

The proposal addresses:
  -a more focused direction of providing secondary information in
   the textual format for problem determination.
  -specifications of secondary information.
  -a mechanism allowing the program to retrieve the secondary
   information associated with an abnormal return code.
  -concerns about alternative solutions.
  (The proposal, as distributed in the CIW, can be found in
   ciw/sig/2rc/si-orig.ps at ibmstandards.cary.ibm.com)

The SIG agreed to the following change to the proposal:
  -enumerate all CPI-C-specific secondary information.  This kind
   of secondary information is associated with the following
   return codes: CM_PARAMETER_ERROR, CM_PROGRAM_PARAMETER_CHECK,
   CM_PROGRAM_STATE_CHECK.

The SIG also identified the following problem in the proposal:
  -It does not cover callback function properly.

The coming SIG activities are:
  -Review of an AD proposal for interim approval in October
   (Watch your mailbox for its availability.)
  -Request AP at the December CIW
  -Request CP at the March CIW next year
