PN20128: ABENDU1035 MSGIGZ035I SK90 FILE ATTRIBUTE MISMATCH BETWEEN COBOL PGM AND JCL DCB PARMS: RECFM BLKSIZE AND LRECL.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is writing to a new output file in which RECORDING
  MODE F is specifed in his Cobol pgm, but in the JCL DCB parm,
  RECFM=V is coded.  Cobol abends with a U1035 and MSGIGZ035I
  with sk90 issued.  This same abend and message is produced for
  file attribute mismatches of BLKSIZE and LRECL.  Users would
  expect to receive a sk39 (which explicitly describes these
  mismatches) rather than the sk90.  Releases effected: 3.0, 3.1,
  and 3.2

  ****************************************************************
  DCBSYNAD PROCESSING IN IGZEQBL SHOULD NOT BE FORCING
  FILE STATUS 90 IF THERE EXISTS A PREVIOUS NON-ZERO FILE
  STATUS WHICH INDICATES THE OPEN WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.
  

Problem conclusion

• CODE CHANGED IN IGZEQBL FOR DCBSYNAD PROCESSING TO CHECK FOR
  A NONZERO FILE STATUS WHICH INDICATES OPEN WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL
  AND SKIP CODE WHICH FORCES FILE STATUS 90 IF THE PROGRAM WAS
  COMPILED UNDER LE/370 COBOL OR VS COBOL II.
