      3. DBRC commands selectable by DBDSGRPS
           ==> DBDSGRP = DBDSTEST
      Selecting
      LHIST9    LIST.HISTORY DBDSGRP, LIST GROUP HISTORY,
  
      The panel IDLRLGR6 do not display any GRPNAME even if there
       is one existing as can be seen with a LIST.DBDSGRP :
  DBDSGRP
  
  GRPNAME=DBDSTEST £MEMBERS=2     -DBD-    -DDN/AREA-
              IVPDB1    DFSIVD1
              IVPDB1I   DFSIVD1I
  ******and second problem is confusion on NULL specification*****
  Running DBCS V320, options :

   LDBD9     LIST.DB, LIST DBS INCLUDING DBDSES OR BY TYPE
  
   On panel IDLRLDB1, the following note is displayed :
   ==> Select a NULL definition if you only want to list a DB and
   not a DBDS or AREA.
   Selecting a NULL entry or not has the same effect; The field
   DBDS on panel IDLRLHI3 is set to Y.
  *
   I am not sure of the "NULL" definition. The panel IDLRLDB1
   displays the following :
   Select (S)
        DBNAME    TYPE      SHR PAR   DDN      DSNAME
        ==> IVPDB1    IMS       3         **NULL** **NULL**

  ****************************************************************
  THE RECON MAINTENANCE TASK 'DBRC COMMANDS SELECTABLE BY
  DBDSGRPS' INCORRECTLY DISPLAYED PANEL IDLRLGR6 DURING PROCESSING
  FOR A LIST.HISTORY DBDSGRP COMMAND. PANEL IDLRLGR6 IS ONLY USED
  FOR RECON MAINTENANCE TASK 'DBRC COMMANDS FOR ALL DBDS'
  
  THIS APAR ALSO FIXES SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS FOUND IN DATABASE
  CONTROL SUITE -
  1. THE RECON MAINTENANCE DBRC LIST.DB COMMAND PANEL, IDLRLHI3,
     SET THE INCORRECT DEFAULT (Y OR N) FOR 'DBDS', THE OPTION TO
     INCLUDE ASSOCIATED DBS DATA SETS.
  2. THE JCL FOR RECOVERY FROM THE LATEST IMAGE COPIES HAD THE
     INCORRECT DDNAME FOR THE DATA SET TO BE RECOVERED.
  3. PUNCTUATION WAS CORRECTED FOR A BATCH COLLECT ERROR MESSAGE.
  

Problem conclusion

• PANEL PROCESSING WAS CORRECTED FOR LIST.HISTORY DBDSGRP COMMAND
  PROCESSING.
  THE DEFAULT FOR LIST.DB WAS RESET TO 'N' IF ONLY A DBNAME IS
  SELECTED ON DB LIST PANEL IDLRLDB1. THE DEFAULT WAS RESET TO 'Y'
  IF A DBDNAME WITH A DDNAME AND DATA SET NAME IS SELECTED.
