Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of C/C++ and any of the following:     *
  *                 1.  Applications that call fgets()           *
  *                 2.  Header file <uchar.h>                    *
  *                 3.  Applications that open a member of a PDS *
  *                     for reading and type=blocked             *
  *                 4.  Applications that reposition within a    *
  *                     dataset opened for reading and           *
  *                     type=blocked                             *
  *                 5.  C++ applications that use try, throw     *
  *                     and catch                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. The fgets() function does not        *
  *                         return NULL for any errors that      *
  *                         occur on the read if some data has   *
  *                         been read.                           *
  *                      2. Compile fails when compile option    *
  *                         LANGLVL(EXTC1X) is used and header   *
  *                         file <uchar.h> is included first     *
  *                         because the type size_t is not       *
  *                         defined before it is used.           *
  *                      3. For a member of a PDS opened with    *
  *                         type=blocked, the fread() function   *
  *                         returned data from the next member   *
  *                         in the PDS when called after EOF was *
  *                         reached.                             *
  *                      4. For a dataset opened with            *
  *                         type=blocked, the fread() function   *
  *                         returned data from the last block    *
  *                         when called after an initial fseek() *
  *                         failed because the new location was  *
  *                         before the beginning of the file and *
  *                         a second fseek() set the new         *
  *                         position at end of file.             *
  *                      5. Abend 0C4 occurred in __ds_prev()    *
  *                         when called during catch clean up.   *
  *                         The input DSA address was no longer  *
  *                         on the backchain.                    *

Problem conclusion

• 1. The fgets() function will return NULL for errors on the
     read, unless a partial read occurred on I/O to a PIPE or
     FIFO and errno is set to EAGAIN (which implies the stream
     was opened with O_NONBLOCK).
  2. The header file uchar.h was changed to ensure that the type
     size_t is defined before it is used.
  3. Code was changed to ensure that data in another member is not
     read.
  4. Code was changed to restore the position when fseek() fails
     because the new location is before the beginning of the file.
  5. Code was changed to ensure that catch clean up always calls
     __dsa_pr() with a DSA address that is on the backchain.
