Error description
Missing SEOF mark in the begining of the CA following the last preformatted CA of SPEED RRDS cluster. Instead, that CA is partl y preformatted leaving number of non-formatted CIs at the end. ------------------------------------------------------------- During initial load of the dataset, Software-End-OF-File is expected to be wirtten in the begining of the CA following the last preformatted CA(unless it's the last CA of an extent) ------------------------------------------------------------- This issue may lead to the errors in 3rd party applications depe ndent on SEOF records. (0P17i FILE PROT error on processing such dataset with CA-FAVER) At the same time VSAM can process such datasets without problems using HUSRBA to identify the End-of-Data.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users processing SPEED RRDS Datasets * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Missing SEOF mark * * for SPEED RRDS cluster. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Missing SEOF mark at the end of preformatted area of SPEED RRDS cluster.

Problem conclusion
During initial load of the dataset, Software-End-OF-File(CI filled with zeroes) is expected to be wirtten in the first Control interval following the last preformatted CA (unless it's the last CA of an extent) In case of SPEED RRDS dataset that SEOF mark is missing and the last CA partially preformatted leaving number of non-formatted CIs at the end. This issue may lead to the errors in 3rd party applications dependent on SEOF records. (0P17i FILE PROT error on processing such dataset with CA-FAVER) At the same time VSAM can process such datasets without problems, using HUSRBA to identify the End-of-Data.
