PK73448: PANEL IDL$IMS REQUIRES MODBLKS INCORRECTLY WHEN RUNNING IMS V10

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I have upgraded my system to IMS 10 and implemented DRD, so I
  no longer have a MODBLKS dataset. However, panel IDL$IMS
  insists that I provide a MODBLKS dataset name and that the
  dataset actually exists. MODBLKS should be optional for IMS
  V10.
  This APAR will also fix a problem where the EXITLIB dataset
  was concatenated to IMSDALIB DD. It should be concatenated
  to the STEPLIB DD. This fails for job "REORG DATABASE", it works
  ok for job "HP RELOAD UTILITY JOB"

  ****************************************************************
  1.THE MODBLKS DATA SET IS OPTIONAL FOR IMS10, ALTHOUGH
  THE DBCS PANELS MADE IT A REQUIRED FIELD.
  THE EXITLIB PANEL WAS MISPLACED AT THE END OF THE CONCATENATION
  FOR DYNLIBS INSTEAD OF BEING INCLUDED UNDER STEPLIB IN THE
  REORG AND UNLOAD JCL SKELETONS.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1.THE MODBLKS DATA SET REQUIREMENT WAS REMOVED FROM THE
  IMS ENVIRONMENT SETUP PANEL, IDL$IMS. IT'S NOW OPTIONAL.
  2.THE EXITLIB WAS MOVED TO THE STEPLIB CONCATENTATION FOR
  THE REORG AND UNLOAD JOBS.
