PM63017: IN THE EVENT OF A FAILED FTP TRANSFER TO A GDG, THE FTP SESSION ATTEMPTS TO DELETE THE WRONG GDG GENERATION.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If an FTP client connects to the z/OS server, attempts to send
  data to a new generation of a GDG, and the transfer fails; the
  FTP server may attempt to delete the wrong generation when
  cleaning up after the failure.  This could manifest itself in
  other ways, but one scenario yields the following error
  messages:
  
  seq_delete_file: SVC99 ALLOC failed with rc 12
  seq_delete_file: S99ERROR = 0394

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A FTP transfer attempts to store into   *
  *                      a GDG(+1). The data connection opens,   *
  *                      but the client never sends in any data. *
  *                      FTP times out the receive, but an error *
  *                      occurs when attempting to delete the    *

  ****************************************************************
  SVC99() is using GDG structure to delete the GDG file. For
  store into a GDG(+1), the status and GDG_mem in GDG structure
  is incorrect so that the error occurs and the GDG(+1) is not
  deleted.
