Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
* IMS V15 users of DB DLI Get Unique Record (GUR) calls, DEDB  *
* DBD REMARKS, or MINOCCURS=0 parameter specification in DBD   *
* definition.                                                  *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
* IMS catalog database has the DEDB REMARKS and MINOCCURS=0    *
* information, but GUR does not return them in the XML output. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
*  INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF                     *
****************************************************************
GUR does not build the DEDB REMARKS information and
miscalculates the size of the MINOCCURS=0 value resulting the
data absence in the XML output.

Problem conclusion

  • DFS3GUR1 PL/X - GUR XML output builder.
Changed to build the DEDB REMARKS information and calculate the
size of the MINOCCURS=0 value correctly to return the data in
the XML output.
