Appendix B.1 APAR Closing Codes
The APAR closing codes are:

administrative information only right now; technical information

DOC Documentation error

DUB Duplicate of a resolved APAR closed for ten days or less
DUU Duplicate of an unresolved APAR

MCH Machine or microcode error
PER Programming error
PRS Permanent restriction
REQ Requirement for Development's consideration
RET Returned for additional information
STD Open Systems Standards deficiency
SUG Suggestion for product enhancement
UR1 Programming error in the reported release; the problem has been
corrected in a release not yet available from distribution
UR2 Same as UR1 but written against an unsupported release
UR3 Programming error in the reported release; does not exist in the
current release available from distribution
UR4 Same as UR3 but written against an unsupported release
UR5 Unable to reproduce on the reported release
USE User error
Sounds like "UR1" means something to the effect that the problem has actually
been fixed in an announced but not yet GA release. In presentations more
recent than the above document, I've heard IBM refer to FIN as "Fixed IF
Next" so that the FIN code is not interpreted as being a commitment to deliver
a product prior to such product's actually being announced.
I would further say that if you believe the problem should be fixed in the
current release, you should still ask for that. If you believe IBM is correct
that
an upcoming release is adequate, then accept IBM's offer for the UR1 closing
code.
