PI88464: IBM EXPLORER FOR Z/OS (ZEXPL) Z/OS REMOTE SEARCH DUPLICATES THE FIRST LINE IN THE RESULTS VIEW

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Explorer for z/OS - zExpl
  
  z/OS Remote Search duplicates the first line in the results
  view.
  
  To Recreate:
  Create a filter that contains these 2 PDS:
  TEST.CPYLIB1
  TEST.CPYLIB2
  
  Make sure that these 2 PDS have duplicate files such as:
  test1
  test2
  test3
  test4
  
  Do a z/OS Remote Search for test*
  
  This will have 8 results.
  However, the first and second lines are the same for test4.
  One of those lines should be pointing to the other PDS
  instead of pointing to the same PDS.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When there are multiple search results with the same name, the
  first item is being duplicated.
  

Problem conclusion

• The first item gets duplicated because the code that finds a
  matching tree widget for a search result item is only checking
  the name.  Not only does the name need to be checked, but also
  the data to be accurate.
  

Temporary fix
