PI07689: EXPORT TO PC OF TRANSACTION TRANSIT EXTRACT MAY RESULT IN VALUESBEING TRUNCATED AND A SEPARATE ABEND0CX ISSUE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Two issues addressed with this APAR:
  1) Export to PC of Transaction Transit extract may result in
     some values being truncated.
     The extract to PC utility should format time values in
     Milliseconds, these are incorrectly being formatted as
     Microseconds, resulting in large values being truncated.
  2) ABENDS0Cx following recovery from earlier abend with ESTAE
     active.
     If an abend occurs during file initialization/allocation
     which is trapped by the ESTAE process, IMS PA may attempt to
     recover using the current Dispatch List which may not have
     been built, resulting in invalid pointers and various S0Cx
     abends. In this case an ABENDS0C6 occurs after an ABENDS013.
     This ABEND0C6 occured when IPIGDSPF did a branch to an
     invalid address at offset x'01C6' due to R15 being odd.

  The following issues are being addressed in this APAR:
  1.FastPath Extract by Interval routine incorrectly reports
  values in Microsecond units, resulting in large values being
  truncated when they are processed by the PC Export utility.
  2.If an abend occurs during file initialization/allocation which
  is trapped by the ESTAE process, IMS PA may attempt to recover
  using the current Dispatch List which may not have been built,
  resulting in invalid pointers and various S0Cx abends.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made for the above issues:
  1.FastPath Extract by Interval values should be reported in
  Millisecond units, not Microsecond.
  2.Following ESTAE recovery IMS PA should force EOF and process
  Dispatch List from the top, which will result in null lists
  being correctly detected
