Problem 1 description:

Message IEC190I INVALID DCBE: DCBHIARC FLAGS ON BUT NO DCBE PTR can appear for the following commands:
  • EXPORT command to a new data set that uses all data formats except DATAFORMAT=XML
  • EDIT QUERY
  • EDIT PROC

This message is informational and does not indicate any error. The command runs successfully.
If you run with TSO PROFILE NOWTPMSG, you will not see the informational message.

This problem is fixed in QMF for TSO/CICS V10.1 and V11.1 in APAR PM96778 (UK97640 - V10 and UK97641 - V11).

 

Problem 2 description:

When you invoke QMF from an 8-character TSO user ID, you might encounter the following problems:
  • Message DSQ22114 'Your data set name contains invalid characters.' when you run the IMPORT command from an unqualified data set name.
  • Message DSQ23146 'Your data set name contains invalid characters.' when you run the EXPORT command to an unqualified data set name.
  • The wrong QMF profile might be chosen when QMF is invoked with DSQSPRID=TSOID.
  • The QMF trace data set DSQDEBUG truncates the user ID value.

The problem is fixed in QMF for TSO/CICS V11.1, V11.2 and V12.1 via APAR PI99294.

Problem 3 description:

ABEND 0C4 can occur when you invoke QMF for TSO and CICS a second time from an already running QMF for TSO and CICS instance.

  • Message 'DSQ50720 QMF already active; secondary session not permitted.' is expected.

Possible ABEND0C4s can occur when running the QMF command or callable interface under ISPF.

The problems are fixed in QMF for TSO/CICS V13.1 and V12.1 in HIPER APAR PH47422. QMF recommends all users running under z/OS 2.5 install this fix.
