APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • From the FM 3.4 panel, user attempts to generate batch JCL to
    define a new file, based on a model dataset.
    
    The DD statement's SPACE parameter when allocating in blocks
    is in error:
    
    For a BLKSIZE=8000,  FM generates:
       SPACE=(BLK,(36,9))
    
    It should be
       SPACE=(8000,(36,9))
    

Local fix

  • Manually correct JCL prior to submission.

    * USERS AFFECTED: All File Manager Users.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When non-VSAM data set allocation       *
    *                      Space unit is BLKS:                     *
    *                      1. File Manager does not allow a        *

    *                      2. Batch JCL generated by File Manager  *
    *                      has incorrect syntax for the DD         *
    *                      statement SPACE= parameter.             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    1. File Manager should allow a zero specification regardless
    of Space unit type.
    2. File Manager should use correct syntax in Batch JCL generated
    // SPACE=(blksize,(xx,yy)) instead of
    // SPACE=(BLK,(xx,yy))
    

Problem conclusion

  • File Manager has been updated to correct the problems.
