Error description

  • The fields associated with CMD_CODE_DBL of the IMS x'9904'
    record are not being formatted correctly. The first field value
    is being displayed as a FLAG value indicating the type of subset
    pointer command codes contained in the record. This is not
    correct, the fields associated with CMD_CODE_DBL are individual
    FLAG fields for each each subset pointer command code where each
    code is expressed as binary bit.

    The fields associated with CMD_CODE_DBL of the IMS x'9904'
    record are not being formatted correctly. The first field
    value is being displayed as a FLAG value indicating the type

Problem conclusion

  • 1. Correct formatting of CMD_CODE_DBL in IMS x'9904' Knowledge
       Module to indicate the individual subset pointer command
       code processed.
    
    2. Updates to Knowledge Modules to improve readability when
       browsing.
