    With DirMaint APAR VM65926 (PTF: UV61388) applied, issuing
    a DirMaint DIRM REPLACE command for a directory
    entry that contains the abbreviation for the IPL directory
    statement (For example: I CMS or I ZCMS), causes the REPLACE
    to fail with RC = 20041 and the following message is
    displayed:
    
    DVHRXV3303E Unable to locate the specified entry ZCMS in the
    directory.
    
    The user directory entry is not updated/replaced.
    
    Due to an error in DirMaint REPLACE processing, the
    abbreviated IPL statement is interpreted as an INCLUDE
    directory statement. DirMaint then looks for a PROFILE
    with the name following the IPL statement (CMS or ZCMS) and
    emits the error message above.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The DVHREP EXEC has been updated to correctly interpret the
    abbreviation for the INclude directory statement. This will
    allow the abbreviated form of the Ipl directory statement to be
    handled correctly during DirMaint replace processing.
