PI67755: UNEXPECTED DSQ20684 THE DEFINITION OF MESSAGE DSQBT026 IS INVALID OR MISSING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A confusing DSQ20684 error message like the following is issued.
  
  DSQ20684 The definition of message DSQBT026 is invalid or
  missing
  
  Where the 'DSQBT026' could be any form of 'DSQBx026'.
  
  As there is no valid 'DSQBx026' error message, the problem is
  likely the result of locally editing QMF program parts.
  
  The code fix will more clearly display the DSQBE026 message and
  say there is a problem displaying DXYEABMP.
  

Local fix

• Correct the local customization leading to the problem.
  Otherwise apply the PTF.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All QMF for TSO/CICS users of the BATCH      *
  *                 command synonym.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Users can receive error message         *
  *                      DSQ20684 'The definition of message     *
  *                      DSQBn026 is invalid or missing.' when   *
  *                      running the QMF BATCH application. 'n'  *
  *                      might be any letter or number.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The QMF BATCH application (which is a QMF command synonym) was
  reusing the variable name used to detect the QMF language being
  run. If a problem arose during display of the QMF batch ISPF
  panel DXYnABMP (where 'n' is the letter  identifier of the
  language being run), message DSQBn026 'Error Displaying  ISPF
  panel DXYnABMP, ISPF return code 12' should display. But in some
  cases, the language identifier had been lost due to variable
  reuse and a non existent ISPF message identifier was requested.
  

Problem conclusion

• qmfhlq.SDSQCLTE(DSQABB12) has been updated to retain the proper
  variable value for QMF language identifier. Please note that
  this message can be validly issued  if the proper QMF ISPF
  message library is not allocted to ISPMLIB. If you are running a
  QMF national language, be sure that the proper QMF ISPF message
  language library is allocated to ISPMLIB. For example, if
  running German QMF, and be sure that qmfhlq.SDSQMLBD is
  allocated to ISPMLIB. If running French QMF, be sure
  qmfhlq.SDSQMLBF is allocated to ISPMLIB.
