OA22838: ISRDDN LPA DUPLICATES COMMAND IGNORES PF3 OR SPECIFICATION OF NO FROM POP-UP PANEL ISRDDLWA

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1/ An ISPF user enters:
  ISRDDN
     LPA
     DUPLICATES
  The pop-up panel ISRDDLWA is displayed asking whether the user
  wants to proceed with the function:
     This function may search Linklist, LPA, Parmlib
     or APF libraries.  At some sites this may lead
     to security violations resulting in anything
     from an unhappy security guy at your door to
     revocation of your TSO user id.  To allow
     scanning of these libraries enter YES below:
  .
     Type YES to proceed . . . NO
       (Enter SKIP to proceed and to skip
        this panel in the future.)
  Pressing PF3 from this panel results in the allocated data sets
  being searched and the "Duplicate members list" displayed.  We
  expect PF3 to cancel the user out of the warning pop-up and
  return to the "Current Data Set Allocations" list.
     Even if the user explicitly enters NO, indicating that they
  do not want to proceed, ISRDDN still continues to search and
  display the duplicates.  In this customer's case, it locks the
  user out for 5 or 10  minutes, so it hurts productivity.
  2/ In addition, the panel could be clearer (or perhaps more
  organized) by stating that enter is required for all of
  YES/NO/SKIP, and what action is taken in each case.
  3/ Finally, this customer is wondering if the wording on this
  panel above the prompt could be more professional in tone.
  Perhaps "resulting in anything from an unhappy security guy at
  your door to revocation of your TSO user id" could be reworded,
  or simply omitted.
     In addition, the panel might be more infomative if it
  warned the user that this search could take more than a
  few minutes.
