Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of DirMaint specifying the miminum *

    * 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.
