Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• This APAR adds support for EXPORT and IMPORT of unqualified data
  set names when using an 8 character user id or 8 character TSO
  PROFILE PREFIX.
  Also added is support for proper recording of an 8 character TSO
  user id within the QMF trace data set DSQDEBUG.
  
  Until this fix is applied, users with an 8 character user id,
  may see DSQ22114 or DSQ23146 'Your data set name contains
  invalid characters.' when using the EXPORT or IMPORT commands
  with unqualified data set names.
  
  Reference to string '>7BYTES' will also be seen.
  
  QMF trace records showing USERID: will be shortened to 7
  characters such as the following:
  ---------- ****** 18/06/13 13.19.17 ****** ----------------
  QMFV12R1.0 was started in subsystem QC1C(DSN12015).
  Currently connected location: RS25QC1C (DSN12015).
  USERID: TS5519L
  AUTHORIZATION-ID: TS5519L8
  MESSAGE NUMBER: DSQ22114
  MESSAGE TEXT:
  Your data set name contains invalid characters.
  &C1: '>7BYTES.MYQUERY.QUERY'
  ----------------------------------------------------------------

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All QMF for TSO/CICS V11.1, V11.2 and V12.1  *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When invoking QMF from a TSO user id    *
  *                      that is 8 characters long, using EXPORT *
  *                      or IMPORT to a non qualified data set   *
  *                      name may result in DSQ22114 or DSQ23146 *
  *                      'Your data set name contains invalid    *
  *                      characters.' A string containing        *
  *                      '>7BYTES' will be seen for the high     *
  *                      level qualifier of the data set. Within *
  *                      the QMF trace data DSQDEBUG, the USERID *
  *                      will be truncated at 7 characters.      *
  *                      USers running with DSQSPRID=TSOID may   *
  *                      notice the wrong Q.PROFILES profile     *
  *                      being used.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  z/OS 2.3 adds support for 8 character TSO user ids. This APAR
  updates QMF trace, EXPORT and IMPORT for the support. Note that
  without this PTF, when started with an 8 character TSO user id,
  QMF will start and function successfully within the data base.
  QMF already has support for up to 128 character DB2
  authorization ids.
