PQ70352: AFTER ERROR MSGIQC3063E IS ISSUED, JOB ENDS WITH RC00

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After error message "IQC3063E TimeStamp:invalid symbol in
  T=..parameter" is issued, the job ends with rc=00.  An RC=08
  (RC08) should be returned.
  
  Additional Problems fixed:
  1) IQCSELCT RC=08 may occur if job region size is too small
  (an increase in region size should alleviate this condition).
  The problem is that when the cc08 is issued, there is no WTO
  message or QCFPRINT data to help determine this failure.
  This APAR will add a change to return some sort of error
  message indicating the small region size.
  2) IQCSELCT may get an RC08 if the LOGOUT data set is defined
  with a smaller LRECL and BLKSIZE then the input messages LRECL
  and BLKSIZE (correcting this condition will fix the problem).
  The problem is that when the cc08 is issued, there is no WTO
  message or QCFPRINT data to help determine this failure.
  This APAR will add a change to return some sort of error
  message indicating this condition.

  Programs are changed to:
  - stop proccessing messages if there is
  some error in the input control cards.
  - issue message IQC3114E if there is not
  enough storage for initialization.
  - issue messages IQC3045E and IQC3048E
  if LRECL for LOGOUT or SCRAPSEL is smaller
  than input record + 320 bytes for QCF prefix.
  

Problem conclusion

• Programs are changed to fix the errors.
