PM63753: FIX DSN6SPRM.SRTPOOL TO HONOR SETTINGS FROM 240 - 9999

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DSN6SPRM macro increases SRTPOOL settings of 9999 or less to
  10000.  It should honor settings between 240 and 9999, and
  increase only settings of 239 or less (to 240).

  ****************************************************************
  The SRTPOOL subsystem parameter (which resides in the DSN6SPRM
  parameter) specifies the amount of storage in kilobytes that is
  needed for the sort pool.  The valid range of settings is 240 to
  128000.  By design, DSN6SPRM is supposed to increase SRTPOOL
  settings that are smaller than 240 to 240 and reduce settings
  that are larger than 128000 to 128000.   Currently, an error in
  DSN6SPRM causes it to increase settings smaller than 10000 to
  10000.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR corrects DSN6SPRM so that SRTPOOL settings between
  240 and 9999 are honored, and values less than 240 are increased
  to 240.
