Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of DirMaint specifying the miminum * * NICDEF statement. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF * **************************************************************** With APAR VM65926 applied, DirMaint will not put a NICDEF statement into the user's directory when the NICDEF is the minimum format of "nicdef <addr> type <type>". DirMaint indicates it performed the function but the NICDEF statement is not added. This occurs due to an error in DVHBBXED. The code parses the minimum info and then loops to process any additional options. As part of that processing it will invoke 'output' to put the new external formatted statement on a pipe. If there is no additional information other than the minimum NICDEF specification, then the 'output' is not performed to put the data on the pipe and the statement is not added to the directory.
Problem conclusion
The loop in DVHBBXED REXX is updated to output the minimum NICDEF specification correctly adding the statement to the user's directory.
