II06749: GIM24001E AND IEV004 WHEN APPLYING MAINTENANCE FOR DFHXSE

APAR status

• Closed as canceled.

Error description

• Customer is applying maintenance for PN19538 UN27578 and is
  getting MSGGIM24001E ASSEMBLY PROC FOR SYSMOD UN27578 FAILED FOR
  MOD DFHXSE IN SMPCSI LIB RC08 RC 08.  When they turned PRINT ON
  for DFHGDEFS they saw MSGIEV004 for about 270 statements.  This
  is because the PTF does a COPY DFHGDEFS which causes duplicate
  defines for all the globals.
     The problem has been triggered by internal manipulating of
  DFHXSE definitions, in order to switch from object-only, to
  begin shipping total source, then later to ship updates to
  source.  To correct runs the risk of introducing possible
  further problems.  The ship of DFHXSE for PN09382/UN14386 (R212)
  had only the Object deck.  It should have been built with
  product but this was omitted.
  To rectify this we have to :-
     1. Define/create a JCLIN file
     2. Ship total source code for DFHXSE, including GLOBALS prefi
     3. Redefine XSE as Macro, to ensure that source updates would
        go out for any future apars.
  PROBLEMS IN THE ABOVE STATEMENTS.
    Both JCLIN and GLOBAL prefixes contain a copy GDEFS statement.
    To solve by Apars :-
     1. Revert to Object only.
     2. Have PART and JCLIN deleted.
     3. Re-issue new PART and JCLIN.
     4. Provide prefix GLOBALS without copy of GDEFS.
     5. Redefine for UPDATE, SOURCE and FUTURE changes.
     This process would take 2 apars, involves UCLIN and is not
  acceptable.
  ************** CHANGE TEAM CIRCUMVENTION ********************
     Remove the COPY DFHGDEFS from the GLOBALS prefix (that was
  shipped with the original total-source-apar) as it will never be
  updated.  The only time it existed, the PTF was at FIRST and
  ONLY 'SHIP-TOTAL-SOURCE' point.  All changes from now on can
  only affect the DFHXSE source, NOT the GLOBALS prefix.  I.E.
  the XSE CSECT is the unit that will change.  If the GLOBALS
  prefix has been USERMODified, it will remain in this state for
  the lifetime of the product.  (Equally, the JCLIN that was sent
  with the total-source-apar could be modified with the same
  criteria applying).  Either method of change uses only one
  statement- COPY GDEFS.
  (On the PTF JCLIN ++MAC you can comment out the COPY
   DFHGDEFS statement.)
