Error description
The Fixed External and Delimited LOADFILEs are created from the formatted data. The ISPF front end correctly sets a flag so that formatting will not be skipped. However, when the MODEPARM file is updated the product was not processing the SKIP FORMATTING option properly. When the SKIP FORMATTING is set and the LOADFILEs need the data formatted, various issues can be encountered such as U=50 ABEND, U=88 ABEND, message ALAA041E, RC=2, and possibly other issues as well.
Local fix
Set the parameter "SKIP FORMATTING (WHEN POSSIBLE)....." to 'N'
