    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Changing JCL using the File Manager     *
    *                      DSC utility with a procedure            *
    *                      containing the CHG_OUT function may     *
    *                      cause the JCL to be incorrectly         *

    *                      invalid JCL statements.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The change JCL routine still has a record in its internal
    buffer at EOF.  In this situation the record is not being
    processed with the existing member, but is being processed as
    the first record of the next member.
    

Problem conclusion

  • File Manager has been updated to correct the problem.
