Symptoms

The EXTEND function is incorrectly allowed for an enterprise GNS group. Also, the REMOVE RDF GROUP is incorrectly blocked for an enterprise GNS group.

Example (Dell EMC CS lab):  
DEFINE ENTERPRISE -
GROUP 'GNS_GNSENTEX' -
INCLUDE RDF GROUP = 000120200131,(LCL=03C4) -

DEFINE ENTERPRISE ANY GROUP 'GNS_GNSENTEX' EXTEND -
INCLUDE RDF GROUP=000120200246(LCL=3C5)

DEFINE OF GROUP 'GNS_GNSENTEX'
COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE: 0-0
REASON 0 = OK
The expected result is: 
DEFINE OF GROUP 'GNS_GNSENTEX'
COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE: 8-33
REASON 33 = ENTERPRISE GROUPS MAY NOT BE EXTENDED
Example (Dell EMC CS lab): 
REMOVE FROM GROUP 'GNS_GNSENTRM' RDF GROUP=000120200246(INCLUDE=3C5)

REMOVE FROM GROUP 'GNS_GNSENTRM'
COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE: 8-33
REASON 33 = ENTERPRISE GROUPS MAY NOT BE EXTENDED
