User AbEnd 3400-46 incorrectly * * issued for SORT address space errors. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** For 1., depending on the timing of an AbEnd or following an unsuccessful execution of IMS HPCA spill files can be left on DASD. This requires the users to have to manually locate and delete the spill files. The spill files are not being properly disposed of due to the allocation dispositions required to make the spill files available to the SORT address spaces. For 2., if the user requests the spill files be retained by specifying KEEPWORK the SPILxxxx files are retained but the FPSFxxxx are not. This is caused by the deallocating & re-allocation sequence to release unneeded space allocations. The FPSFxxxx files are initially allocated NEW,CATALG,CATALG then after releasing the excess space are re-allocated SHR, DELETE,DELETE. This prohibits the FPSFxxxx files from being retained at the conclusion of the job. For 3., HPCAMAIN incorrectly issues an AbEnd 3400-46 when RC>4 is received from a SORT address space. The RC>4 is examined by HPCARCAP and determined to be more than a simple warning. This is then propagated back to HPCADRIV as SORTD_CC=x-20- which in turn drives the 3400-46 AbEnd in HPCAMAIN.
Problem conclusion
The High Performance Change Accumulation utility is changed to use NEW,DELETE,DELETE for the initial allocation of both the SPILxxxx and FPSFxxxx files. An override disposition is then used based on the KEEPWORK flag for further manipulation and disposition of the spill files. The AbEnd 3400-46 is removed from HPCAMAIN when RC>4 is returned from a SORT address space.
