"INTRAN" for 9+ years? I guess that's one way to avoid saying "WAD" or "PRS".

It's not a defect APAR, but an INFO APAR; it was opened just to make the
information searchable. It's quite possible that nobody in IBM will
care if it is *never* closed. Defect APARs, by contrast, have
deadlines. (Whether it should have been considered a defect is a
different matter.)
In fact, a cursory look at the list of the first several hundred INFO
(II*) APARs displayed by the search argument I used shows that most of
those opened since the 1990's are still marked INTRAN today. I would
expect that when closed they would have a non-defect closing code (like
CANceled), and though I did not check on the rules, a spot check seems
to bear this out.
