In the upper part is following information:
Quote:
A specific fix for this item is not yet available electronically

This record will be updated with a link to the fix if the APAR is new.
For APARs older than 365 days, contact your support center.
There is also a subscribe button so you will be informed automatically if this APAR is updated.

If this is related to a PMR you opened at IBM, you should ask the support about it to make sure what will happen. For me it seems like you have to wait for a fix or next ML update maybe.
In case you have support at IBM and need a fix very urgent, let your management complain so they might come up with a hotfix. Usually they include such a hotfix later in MLs.

ML=Maintenace Level. Today they are called TL, Tech Level, if I am correct.
