Comments

  • The following describes the enhancements made for LIU:
    We now process another APAR PI50095() and the APAR includes
    three requirements which are created by same customer(TSYS).
    in General:
    (1) Provide DECODE OPTION (CHECK_LEN=YES|NO) to issue
    messages for DBD or PSB which has unknown block. (, )
    (2) Provide DECODE OPTION (VERSION_GENDATE=YES|NO) to
    decode DBDGEN date in VERSION= parameter.   ()
    In detail:
    (1) DBD/PSB/ACB Reversal will be enhanced to detect DBD or PSB
    which has unknown block. If the member have unknown block, the
    expected length is not same as the length of loaded member. So
    we detect this inconsistency with CHECK_LEN=YES.
    The default values is CHECK_LEN=NO. This kind of member will be
    generated by non-IBM MACRO. We cannot support every kind of
    member which is generated by non-IBM MACRO, because we cannot
    know its structure. So we just detect unknown block is
    detected in the DBD or PSB.
    (2) DBD/PSB/ACB Reversal decodes DBDGEN date in VERSION=
    parameter. If the VERSION_GENDATE=YES is set, the utility prints
    DBDGEN date in the VERSION= parameter in a decoded DBD source.
    The default value is VERSION_GENDATE=NO.
    External changes made to DBCS :
    DBCS was changed to always use LIU CHECK_LEN=YES for a DBD or
    PSB reversal.
    LIU Option VERSION_GENDATE is controlled by the user in DBD
    reversal panel IDLP413.
