PH14207: LIBRARY LIST REPOSITIONS AT TOP (AFTER FIND+EDIT MEMBER)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1. Open IDz and connect to host (from Remote Systems Explorer
  perspective)
  2. Right click a dataset (e.g. SYS1.HELP) that contains more
  than 50 members.  It  appears that the key factor here is that
  the (right click) properties for the dataset Mapping::Extension
  has  (undefined)  for  Inherit from system mapping
  3. Select FIND MEMBER option, enter member name, press ENTER,
  then OK  in FIND MEMBER results window.  The member list is
  positioned at the requested member.
  4. Double-click to open member.  At this point, we can see an
  extension being assigned to the member (.asm in this case).  The
  member is opened in the editor, but the member list is refreshed
  and repositioned at the top.
  5. From this point, if we close the editor and FIND MEMBER again
  for the same member as in #3 above, the member list is
  positioned at the requested member with the newly-assigned
  extension (.mac or .asm).  Subsequent opens/closes of the
  member, or using Properties to change the extension don't seem
  to affect the member list   it remains positioned at the desired
  member.  However, anytime the extension is removed and the
  member re-opened, the member list is again repositioned at the
  top.
  
  In short, it appears that anytime we open a member that is not
  assigned an extension (Inherit from system mapping is
  (undefined)), the member list is refreshed/repositioned at top.
  
  FYI: apar PH08478 describes a similar problem, but that fix was
  *not* regressed.  PH08478 applies to libraries with an existing
  mapping.  The repositioning that occurred there has been fixed
  by PH08478 (and v14.1.6).  This new APAR applies to unmapped
  libraries.
