  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Computing the Unit Affinity for some DD statements generates *
  * a "JCL build error in collecting semantics" when the program *
  * step is not correctly set for each DD.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Upgrade to ADDI version 6.1.3                                *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified to correctly set the program step and also
  a protection was added for the cases when missing procs made
  impossible to set the program step for all DDs.
  

Temporary fix

• Maybe available upon request
