Error description

  • For a multi extent file on FBA the CI (Control Interval) with

    ****************************************************************
    For a VTOC controlled file (BAM file) on FBA the CI (Control
    Interval) with the last record(s) is not written during CLOSE
    if the current CI is the last CI on the extent.
    Instead a SEOF (Software End Of File) CI with zeroes is written.
    The used DTFSD specifies RECFORM=VARBLK.
    

Problem conclusion

  • During Close of a DTFSD variable length record file when
    records are written in  control interval (CI) format it is
    checked whether there is a CI to be written.
    However it is only written in the current extent if there is
    space in the extent. The check for space includes a field that
    is used for the record number on ECKD devices but should be zero
    on FBA or SCSI devices. Erroneously it was set to 1.
    The fix sets this field to zero during initialisation of
    DTF Extension for a file on SCSI or FBA disk.
