Error description
When issuing a Find command using a large IMS database and a view, as outlined below, high CPU utilization for FM/IMS is captured. 1. In FM/IMS Browse, enter command - F 'TEST ' 12 Search argument is found. 2. Press PF5 - receive pop up which states 10,000 segments searched and search argument found 0 times. 3. Press enter to continue search, receive pop up which states 40,000 segments searched and search argument found 0 times. 4.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All FM/IMS Edit and Browse users, all FM/DB2 * * Edit and View users and all FM base Edit and * * View users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. FM/IMS Edit or Browse session hangs * * when the Editor is short on storage. * * * * 2. Attention interrupt problems: * * i. Pressing the attention interrupt key * * when FM/IMS is processing a CHILD, TWIN * * or DPRINT command does not interrupt * * the processing. * * ii. Pressing the attention interrupt * * key when FM/IMS is processing a * * FIND/CHANGE or NEXT command throws the * * user out of the Edit/Browse session. * * iii. Pressing the attention interrupt * * key when FM/IMS is retrieving the data * * that is to be displayed on the IMS data * * panel throws the user out of the * * Edit/Browse session. * * iv. Pressing the attention interrupt * * key when FM/IMS is processing the * * BOTTOM or DOWN command interrupts the * * processing but the * * '**** End of database ****' line is * * displayed on the IMS data panel even * * though FM/IMS did not reach the end of * * the database. * * v. (All components except FM/IMS) If * * the attention interrupt key is pressed * * when File Manager is processing a * * FIND/CHANGE command and an occurrence * * of the search string is yet to be * * found, File Manager displays the data * * that was being scanned just prior to * * the interrupt. * * * * 3. The NEXT and PREV command does not * * behave as documented in the FM/IMS * * User's Guide. * * * * 4. FIND/CHANGE scrolling problems: * * The FIND/CHANGE command is supposed to * * move the cursor to the first or next * * occurrence of the search string in the * * data and, if this occurrence is not * * visible on the screen, scroll forward * * so the occurrence is displayed at the * * top of the data area. * * However: * * i. (All components) The FIND/CHANGE * * command does not scroll forward when * * the next occurrence of the search * * string is at the top of the next page * * and the format is either HEX or TABL * * with HEX on. * * ii. (IMS only) The first occurrence of * * the search string is not displayed at * * the top of the data area when: * * - you issue a FIND/CHANGE...FIRST/ALL * * command or an RFIND/RCHANGE command * * after the end of the search range has * * been reached and * * - the start of the search range is * * before the data that was displayed at * * the top of the data area when the * * command was issued and * * - the first occurrence of the search * * string is on the first page of the * * search range. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF * **************************************************************** 1. FM/IMS loops when the Editor is low on storage. 3. The 'Use * (any segment type) as default on NEXT and PREVIOUS commands' option on the Editor options panel (0.5) is used to specify the default behaviour for the NEXT and PREV commands. However, * is always used as the default, irrespective of whether or not this option is selected.
Problem conclusion
1. FM/IMS has been modified to correct this and other Editor short on storage problems. 2. File Manager has been modified to correct the attention interrupt problems described above. With these modifications, File Manager behaves as follows: - If the attention interrupt key is pressed when FM/IMS is processing a NEXT, CHILD or TWIN command, the message 'Scan interrupted' is issued and the data that was showing before the command was issued is redisplayed. - If the attention interrupt key is pressed when FM/IMS is processing a DPRINT command, the message 'Print interrupted by attention request - nnnnn records printed' is issued and the data that was showing before the command was issued is redisplayed. - If the attention interrupt key is pressed when FM/IMS is processing a DOWN or BOTTOM comand, the message 'Scroll interrupted' is issued and the data that was retrieved just prior to the interrupt is displayed. - If the attention interrupt key is pressed when FM/IMS is retrieving the data that is to be displayed on the IMS data panel, the message 'Data retrieval interrupted by attention request' is issued and the '**** Bottom of window ****' line is displayed after the last line of data. - (All components) If the attention interrupt key is pressed when File Manager is processing a FIND/CHANGE command and an occurrence of the search string is yet to be found, the message 'Scan interrupted' is issued and the data that was showing before the command was issued is redisplayed. - (All components) If the attention interrupt key is pressed when File Manager is processing a FIND/CHANGE...ALL command and the first occurrence of the search string has already been found, the message 'Scan interrupted' is issued and, if the first occurrence of the search string was not visible before the command was issued, it is displayed at the top of the data area. 3. The FM/IMS NEXT and PREV commands have been modified to behave as documented in the FM/IMS User's Guide. 4. File Manager has been modified to correct the FIND/CHANGE scrolling problems described above.
