PI88603: DBD/PSB/ACB REVERSAL DOES NOT DECODE DEFAULT VALUE OF SOME OF SUB-PARAMETERS ON EXIT= PARAMETER

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DBD/PSB/ACB Reversal does not decode default value of some of
  the sub-parameters specified on the EXIT= parameter of DBD or
  SEGM statement and were added recently.
  
  These parameters were added by several IMS PTFs, so LIU avoids
  decoding of default value of these sub-parameters because of
  compatibility of old versions of IMS.

  ****************************************************************
  This APAR fixes DBD/PSB/ACB Reversal to decode default value of
  some of the sub-parameters specified on the EXIT= parameter of
  DBD or SEGM statement. The default sub-parameters are BEFORE,
  DLET, NOFLD, NOINPOS and NOSSPCMD.
  
  The cause of the problem is DBD/PSB/ACB Reversal does not
  decode these parameters which are recently added by several
  IMS PTFs because of compatibility of old versions of IMS.
  
  As the result of this, the behavior of these new sub-parameters
  on EXIT= parameters are not same as the behavior of existing
  sub-parameters on EXIT= parameter. The value of existing
  sub-parameters are decoded even if the value is default value.
  DBD/PSB/ACB Reversal fixes to decode default sub-parameters on
  EXIT= parameter with same rule.
