Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR fixes the following problems:
  1. VSAM Extended addressability attribute should be detected as
  an error because it's not supported by IMS.
  2. The RPLREQ and RPLFDBWD codes are missing in the IIUH0592E
  message.
  The IIUH0592E message text should be same as FABH0592E described
  in the IMS High Performance Unload User's Guide:

   Explanation: This error line is placed in the data set
   description block of the IMS Index Builder report,
   below the DSN line to denote IDCAMS processing failure
   which could be:
   - Data set allocation failed, DSN in the above line is missing
   - DEL/DEF failed if any
   - Data set not defined in catalog
   - Data set not empty and not reusable
   - Data set LRECL less than DBD LRECl
