PM49245: DATASET ATTRIBUTE COMPATIBILITY CHECKING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Several dataset attributes are now checked to determine if they
  are compatible between the source and target subsystems. These
  include EXTENDED FORMAT, EXTENDED ADDRESSABILITY, COMPRESSABLE,
  STRIPED and SPANNED. These are incompatible attributes per
  message ADR439E RC=4. When MAX-RC=0 and one or more
  incompatibilities are found, the source job ends with RC=8. When
  MAX-RC(4) a warning message is output for each dataset and
  processing continues.
  
  A new COPY subcommand, CHECK-DATASET-COMPATIBILITY(Y/N) is used
  to turn this check on and off. The short form is CKDSN.
  
  IDCAMS LISTCAT commands are issued for each dataset pair (source
  and target). IDCAMS commands and responses are output to the LOG
  dataset.
  
  Use PGM(NONE) to check dataset compatibility. Correct the
  datasets found to be incompatible and then use PGM(ADRDSSU) to
  make the copies.
  
  Note that if no target object exists, the check is bypassed for
  that dataset pair.
  

Local fix

• Correct ADR439E incompatible dataset attributes issued during
  the copy.
