Error description
Program Restart is not enforcing the 8 character high-level qualifier maximum length documented in the PRF User Guide for the CTDSHLQ parameter. When this restriction is not enforced, the tracking data sets are allocated without the program name as part of the data set name which can mean the wrong tracking data sets can be deleted after a backout or used on a subsequent extended restart.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All user's of IMS Program Restart * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: PRF product is not enforcing the * * 8 character HLQ maximum length * * documentated in the PRF User's * * Guide for the CTDSHLQ parameter. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Program Restart should not be allowing users to specify the CTDSHLQ= parameter with a high-level qualifier longer than 8 characters. Instead of the documentated IRT005E message and subsequent U3636 user abend of the job, PRF was allocating tracking data sets with a truncated dataset name missing the critical program name data set level. This could cause restart problems if a PSB name was shared by other application programs.
Problem conclusion
This APAR modifies the code to correct this problem. The User's Guide has also been updated. This documentation needs to be reviewed before applying this maintenance if the user is already specifying a value for CTDSHLQ= that is longer than 8 characters to prevent unexpected U3636 abends from occuring. If the user cannot make a change to the CTDSHLQ= parameter, the customer will need to add either the CTDSNAM=NOPSB parameter or the CTDSNAM=NOPGM parameter.
