: Well this adds a bit of confusion alright. Maybe "mklvcopy" wasn't even

The original text with that APAR suggested a customer submitted it, and
they may have noticed the behavior via the mklvcopy command. After
research from IBM, they likely found the underlying issue elsewhere and
updated the text. That is what I am assuming.. and if true, discouraging
that they removed details that are likely relevant.
