Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM IMS High Performance Change *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1- No indication of error is provided   *
  *                      during conversion of time stamp values. *
  *                      2- NOTIFY.CA processing provides no     *
  *                      time zone offset allowing the TIMEZIN   *
  *                      offset to be used.                      *
  *                      3- PITCA is created with a STOPTIME     *
  *                      prior to the STOPTIME of an existing    *
  *                      CA.                                     *

  ****************************************************************
  1- No indication of time stamp format conversion errors could
  complicate future problem determination.
  2- If the default TIMEZIN setting in the DBRC is changed after a
  CA is created then a PITCA is later created from that CA and
  registered in the DBRC without specifying the time zone offset
  that PITCA will be unusable for a LASTPITCA recovery.
  3- It is not valid to create a PITCA to a point in time prior to
  an existing CA.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1- Code is added to test for errors following time stamp format
  Conversions.  If an error occurs new message HPC4026W is issued.
  2- Code is added to retrieve the time zone offset of the CA used
  to create a PITCA and that same offset is used on the NOTIFY.CA
  to register the PITCA in the DBRC.  After the fix is APPLY-ed
  the time stamp and offset of any PITCA created from a CA will be
  derived from the CA.
  3- Code is added to reject the PITCA request with new message
  HPC4013W if any valid CA exists with a time stamp later then the
  LOG TIME= value specified on the PITCA request.
