PI93606: DB SENSOR STORES INCORRECT SENSOR DATA, UNCLEAR ERROR MESSAGE BBE1414E, ABENDS013 WHEN BBESPRIN DD DATA SET IS NOT BLKSIZE=80

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR will include fixes for the following problems:
  
  1. The maximum number of extents per OSAM data set has increased
     to 120 in IMS V14 or later. FF DB Sensor stores incorrect
     sensor data for OSAM extents in the IMS Tools KB Sensor Data
     repository.
  2. FF DB Sensor issues an unclear error message BBE1414E for
     HALDB disabled partition.
  3. FF DB Sensor Printing utility gets ABENDS013 when a data set
     does not have BLKSIZE=80 in the BBESPRIN DD statement.

  ****************************************************************
  This APAR fixes FF DB Sensor to resolve the following problems:
  
  - The maximum number of extents per OSAM data set has increased
    from 60 to 120 in IMS V14 or later. However, DB Sensor still
    used 60 as the OSAM maximum extents. By this APAR, FF DB
    Sensor can store correct sensor data for OSAM extents in the
    IMS Tools KB Sensor Data repository
  
  - When a HALDB partition had been deleted in the RECON data set,
    DB Sensor issued a message BBE1414E. However, the text of the
    message was not clear. By this APAR, the text of the message
    is changed to tell clearly the partition is delete or disabled
  
  - When a HALDB partition had been disabled, FF DB Sensor should
    skip the partition. However, FF DB Sensor processed the
    partition erronously. As the result, FF DB Sensor could cause
    various unexpected error, for instance, issuing BBE3205E and
    return code 8 in case of the partition data set had been
    deleted. By this APAR, FF DB Sensor is changed to skip
    correctly the disabled partition with issuing the message
    BBE1429E.
  
  - FF DB Sensor Printing utility got ABENDS013 when the BBESPRIN
    data set does not have BLKSIZE=80. By this APAR, FF DB Sensor
    Printing utility is changed to open the data set correctly
    when the block size of the data set is a multiple of 80.
