Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PMR 38890,632,760 - BLKSIZE specified for output DD in the JCL
  not effective.
  
  ================================================================
  Date reported: 10/12/2012
  
  Severity: High
  
  Users Affected:
   All IMU users of MU V3.2
  
  Problem Description:
   BLKSIZE specified in the JCL for output tape files is not
   recognized.
  
  Problem Summation
   This problem occurs for output tape files when the BLKSIZE
   generated in the program is zero, or the BLKSIZE=NATIVE
   EZPARAMS option was specified.  The problem was introduced by
   the implementation of the Long Block Interface (LBI) feature.
  
   The problem occurs when the BLKSIZE coded in the JCL for tape
   files that support LBI is less than 32K.
  
  Problem Conclusion:
   The FSDYNIO0 module was changed to extract the BLKSIZE from the
   BLKSIZE coded in the JCL when the block size generated in the
   program is zero.
  
  Changed modules in FSOFT01.V3R2M0.SFSYLOAD
   FSDYNIO0 - existing module
  
  Special note:
   FSDYNIO0 is a run-time module. Re-compiling of programs is not
   required.
