Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IMS Library Integrity Utilities for z/OS, * * Version 2 Release 1 (FMID=H27P210) users * * who use MFS Reversal and MFS Compare. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR fixes the following problems: * * * * - MFS Reversal goes into a loop when * * converting a DOF for a DPM-A device. * * - MFS Reversal gets ABEND0C4 when * * converting a MID. * * - MFS Reversal generates a wrong * * literal value on a FORMS parameter * * when converting a DOF for a DPM-A * * device. * * - MFS Reversal does not generate an * * input MFLD statement referencing a * * field name specified on a PRN * * parameter. * * - MFS Reversal generates a wrong POS * * value when the maximum column number * * is specified. * * - MFS Reversal incorrectly generates * * an ATTR value on an output MFLD * * statement. * * - MFS Reversal generates a wrong LTH * * value on an input MFLD statement when * * an ATTR=nn is specified. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR. * **************************************************************** This APAR fixes the following problems: 1. MFS Reversal goes into a loop when an original MFS source for a DPM-A output device has a FORMS parameter on a DEV statement. 2. MFS Reversal generates an incorrect literal value as a FORMS parameter on a DEV statement when an original MFS source has the following parameters: - A FORMS parameter is specified on a DEV statement for a DPM-A output device. - OPTIONS=MSG is specified on a DIV statement for output. 3. MFS Reversal tries to convert a MID and gets ABEND0C4 in the FABVMID module at offset +X'E80' when an original MFS source has the following parameters: - A PEN parameter, a CARD parameter, or a PFK parameter is specified on a DEV statement for a 3270 display device. - The field name that is specified on the PEN parameter, the CARD parameter, or the PFK parameter is not referred to by input MFLD statements. 4. MFS Reversal does not generate an input MFLD statement when an original MFS source has the following parameters: - A PRN parameter is specified on a DIV statement for a 3270 display device. - An input MFLD statement references the field name that is specified on the PRN parameter. 5. MFS Reversal generates an incorrect value as a POS parameter on a DFLD statement for a 3270 device when the column number of the POS parameter is the maximum value in an original MFS source. 6. MFS Reversal incorrectly generates an ATTR parameter on an output MFLD statement even when the ATTR parameter on the MFLD statement is not specified in an original MFS source. 7. MFS Reversal generates an incorrect value as an LTH parameter on an input MFLD statement when an ATTR=nn on the MFLD statement is specified in an original MFS source. These problems also can occur in MFS Compare utility.
Problem conclusion
The following modules have been changed to fix the above problems: - FABVDMAO - FABVSDMA - FABVMID - FABVMOD - FABVTRBA
Temporary fix
