* (example below) and the script could proceed as if the

* PROBLEM RESOLUTION:                                         
*                                                             
* If an SRDF Host Component command fails during a GDDR       
* script, the return code will now be displayed correctly in  
* the GDDR313I message, and the script will handle the failure
* as appropriate.                                             
*                                                             
* In addition, message GDDR313I has been enhanced to avoid any
* confusion as to what return code is displayed.  Instead of  
* always indicating 'EMCSRDFR RC=', the message will now      
* indicate 'EMCSRDFR RC=', 'EMCSRDF_RC=', 'EMCSRDF_CMD_RC=',  
* or 'IRXEXCOM RC=' so it is clear exactly which return code  
* is displayed.
