Problem summary

• APAR NUMBER:  PJ40859
  PRODUCT:  z/TPF
  FUNCTIONAL AREA:  FIND/FILE MACRO SUPPORT
  SHIPPED IN PUT:  10
  
  ABSTRACT:
  VSAM indices are not properly populated in VFA.
  
  PACKAGE CONTENTS:
  Source Segments:
  (C) base/cp/cefj.cpy
  
  Object Only Binaries:
  None.
  
  Configuration Independent Binaries:
  None.
  
  Support Files:
  None.
  
  OTHER BINARIES TO BUILD: YES
  (C) <sys>/obj/ccfadc.o
  (C) <sys>/load/CPS0.so
  
  COMMENTS:
  When a general dataset record (GDS) is found the GDS control
  area (DSC) is accessed using the GDS token in the file
  reference word. The code in the GDS find support paths is not
  using the proper field to access the GDS token, which is
  causing VSAM finds to not be treated as VFA candidates.
  

Problem conclusion

• SOLUTION:
  Segment cefj.cpy of CSECT CCFADC was updated, after label
  CFJFIN60, to access the correct GDS token value and use field
  MIOMCHR of the IOB.
  
  COREQS: NO
  None.
  
  MIGRATION CONSIDERATIONS: NO
  None.
  
  BUILD COMMANDS AND INSTRUCTIONS: YES
  #maketpf commands for linux
  maketpf -f CPS0 ccfadc.o
  maketpf CPS0 link
  
  UPDATED INFORMATION UNITS: NO
  None.
