APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
ISPP180
Panel 'BBOWPS33' error
Verification TYPE unrecognized.
Panel line where error was detected:
     VER (&ASOLHN,NB,IPADDR4)
.
This can also occur for panel id BBOWPC33 for a Network
Deployment configuration.  Panelid BBOWPS33 is for a Base
Application Server configuration.
.
The edit checking to ensure fields "ORB Listener host name" and
"HTTP transport host name" on Server Customization panel 3 of 4
are dotted decimal ip addresses made use of ISPF DTL Tag IPADDR4
to assist in the check.  This IPADDR4 is only available on z/OS
releases 1.2 and higher.  It is not available on OS/390 R10 or
z/OS 1.1.  Customers on OS/390 R10 or z/OS 1.1 will observe the
above error when running the Customization Dialogs on WebSphere
for z/OS V5.  The fields are still required to be in a dotted
decimal ip address format ("9.38.48.111") and cannot be an
alphanumeric host name.  If the "ORB Listener host name" and
"HTTP transport host name" fields are not in dotted decimal
ip address format, the base app server will not start.  This
apar will provide an alternate way of doing the check.
Local fix
With the understanding that these fields must be in dotted
decimal format, the customer may edit the BBOWPS33 and BBOWPC33
panels in SBBOPLIB to remove the check that uses IPADDR4.
For example on panelid BBOWPS33:
    IF (&ASOLHN NE '*')
       VER (&ASOLHN,NB,IPADDR4)
and
    IF (&ASVHHAHN NE '*')
       VER (&ASVHHAHN,NB,IPADDR4)
.
should be changed to:
     VER (&ASOLHN,NB)
and
     VER (&ASVHHAHN,NB)
respectively.
Similar changes would need to be done for panelid BBOWPC33.

On panels BBOWPS33 and BBOWPC33, the VER option IPADDR4 was
used to validate "ORB Listener host name" and
"HTTP transport host name".  However, this IPADDR4 option is
only available on z/OS releases 1.2 and higher.  It is not
available on OS/390 R10 or z/OS 1.1.  Customers on OS/390 R10
or z/OS 1.1 will observe the following error when running the
Customization Dialogs on WebSphere for z/OS V5:

  Error Description:
  ISPP180
  Panel 'BBOWPS33' error
  Verification TYPE unrecognized.
  Panel line where error was detected:
  VER (&ASOLHN,NB,IPADDR4)

To correct this, the validation will be changed to use
rexx scripts instead using VER with the IPADDR4 option.
Problem conclusion
The dialog has been updated so that it does not use VER with the
IPADDR4 option to validate dotted decimal IPs.  Instead, the
validate is done via REXX.
