PQ94855: LISTING MESSAGES FROM A DESTINATION CAUSES 'USERID.BROWSES' DATASET TO NOT GET FREED AT QCF END (PF3)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When listing messages from a destination when a large amount
  of messages are queued, a QCF end (PF3) causes userid.BROWSES
  to remain allocated to the user, which in turn causes message
  IEC999I and abendc03 at user ISPF logoff.  An example of the
  sequence of commands is as follows:
  Query > List All > Select Lterm  and > (L) on a printer with
  about 4500 messages queued.
  The dataset gets freed as expected when there is not a large
  amount of messages queued.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After executing "L-list" line command   *
  *                      to list all messages within the         *
  *                      selected line (destination),the data    *

  *                      new logon to TSO/ISPF.                  *
  *                      This happens only if there are more     *
  *                      than 3000 messages with the selected    *
  *                      destination and the user does not list  *
  *                      all messages.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Install the APAR/PTF.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  After exiting list function, data set BROWSES stays   open
  and can not be allocated for second QCF session within same
  session of TSO.
  This happens only if there are more than 3000 messages with the
  selected destination. The proccess does not go  to the
  end of data set to shorten the response time- data set stays
  open.
  If there are less than 3000 messages , or the user lists all
  messages sellecting the option to list next portion of 3000
  messages- data set "BROWSES' is closed after EOF condiotion.
  

Problem conclusion

• Programs are changed to close data set "BROWSES' after exiting
  list messages within the selected destination.
