PM75693: LOAD FAILS FOR FM/IMS 11.1, BUT WORKED UNDER FM/IMS 9.1.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Bytes 81 to 84 are supposed to contain the segment length, but
  in the case of a specific segment in the user's DB, it is set
  incorrectly.
  
  FM/IMS should be validating this length field.
  

Local fix

• Manually correct the length in bytes 81 to 84.
  

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: All FM/IMS Load function users.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Load (ILB) issues message FMNIB847      *
  *                      'Load error: The load file includes a   *
  *                      record for segment <segname> which is   *
  *                      not found in DBD <dbname>.' and         *
  *                      terminates abnormally with abendS0C4.   *
  *                      The problem occurs when the load file   *
  *                      contains a data record in which a value *
  *                      greater than the maximum segment length *
  *                      for the primary and logically related   *
  *                      databases is specified for the segment  *
  *                      data length.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  FM/IMS does not validate the segment data length specified in
  the load records. It just uses the specified value and when this
  value is greater than the maximum segment length for the primary
  and logically related databases a storage overlay occurs.
  

Problem conclusion

• FM/IMS has been modified to correct this problem.
