Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: 1.All zOS Explorer and IDz users             *
  *                 2.All users utilizing the z/OS Explorer TSO  *
  *                  SEND exit IKJEESX0                          *
  *                 3.Users and operators collecting RDz or IDz  *
  *                  host log                                    *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1.In z/OS Explorer, new PDSE data sets  *
  *                       created with the "LIBRARY(PDSE)"       *
  *                       option on the Data Set Characteristics *
  *                       tab of the "New Data Set" wizard may   *
  *                       create a PDSE v2 instead of a PDSE v1  *
  *                      2.Stacking multiple SEND commands in a  *
  *                       single TSO command string can cause a  *
  *                       memory overlay in ECSA.                *
  *                      3.feklogs.rex "Routine not found" error *
  ****************************************************************
  1.In the z/OS Explorer "Data Set Characteristics" tab of the
   "New Data Set" wizard, the "LIBRARY(PDSE)" option does not
   explicitly create a PDSE v1. When the "LIBRARY(PDSE)" option is
   selected, the actual PDSE version is determined by the value of
   the PDSE_VERSION keyword in the IGDSMSxx parmlib member.Thus,
   on systems where PDSE_VERSION(2) is specified as the default,
   there is no way to create a PDSE v1 from the New Data Set
   wizard. This also affects the "Allocate Like" action/wizard
   when creating a new PDSE using the attributes of an existing
   PDSE v1.
  2.z/OS Explorer provides a IKJEESX0 TSO SEND exit to allow TSO
   users to send messages to z/OS Explorer  & IDz users. When this
   exit is in use and multiple TSO SEND commands are strung
   together in a single command and the total length surpasses
   349 characters, a memory overlay will occur in ECSA subpool
   241, possibly destroying data belonging to another application.
  3.In z/OS Explorer, using the modify operator command
   (F rsed,APPL=LOGS ...) or the Help>Collect Logs wizard on the
   client to collect host logs results in a feklogs.rex error
   when RDz/IDz is also installed.

Problem conclusion

• 1.The zOS Explorer client and server modules are updated. When
   an updated client is connected to an updated server, the user
   can explicitly choose to create a PDSE in the "New Data Set"
   wizard using:
   "LIBRARY(PDSE)", which will create a new PDSE using the default
   version defined by the PDSE_VERSION keyword in the IGDSMSxx
   parmlib member.
   "LIBRARY(PDSEv1)", which will create a new PDSE v1.
   "LIBRARY(PDSEv2)", which will create a new PDSE v2.
  2.The IKJEESX0 exit now checks the TSO command length before
   populating the ECSA buffer.
  3.Added logic to determine the environment as listdsi is only
   available in TSO
