JR31357: CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR FROM IS 8.0.1 TO 8.1 OF THE BASIC-FUNCTION DSGETLOGEVENTIDS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The bahviour of the BASIC-function DSGetLogEventIds has changed
  in the IS 8.1 version.
  
  v8.0 behaviour: The third parameter ('F') asks DSGetLogEventIds
  to return only ids of fatal log entries; as none exists -99 is
  returned.
  v8.1 behaviour: The third parameter ('F') is ignored and
  DSGetLogEventIds returns all ids for the current/relevant run.
  
  We need to have the same behaviour as previously as otherwise
  the jobs cannot be migrated to IS 8.1
