Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: 01.Users who query alias or symbolic         *
  *                    dataset name.                             *
  *                 02.Users who query MVS filesystem where the  *
  *                    query encounters certain error            *
  *                    condition.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.Dataset alias name may be resolved   *
  *                         incorrectly to the original dataset  *
  *                         name. In such cases, they are not    *
  *                         included in the query result.        *
  *                      02.The MVS miner when retrieving the    *
  *                         datasets, for example as in          *
  *                         browsing the filesystem, may         *
  *                         encounter error and the program is   *
  *                         terminated with multiple CEE dumps   *
  *                         with OC4 abend.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  01.Dataset alias name as a prefix of the real dataset name
     maybe missed in the name resolution during dataset query
     processing. Dataset alias name with a symbolic variable
     reference (without the optional end period) in the last
     qualifier would be missed in the symbol name resolution.
     This affects query with wild char.
  02.When the program exits, in the cleanup routine by its
     condition handler, the attempt to free an invalid internal
     data structure (dyn_t) may cause repeated CEE dumps with OC4
     abend.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.The two use cases of pattern in alias name were missed in
     the implementation coverage and testing. Alias name as a
     prefix of the real dataset name should be supported. The end
     period of the symbol variable reference in the last
     qualifier should be treated as optional.
  02.It's an logic code error and happens only in certain error
     uncommon condition. A flag to mark the valid status of the
     internal data structure is introduced for a proper free
     condition check.
