Error description

  Problem description:
  
  If you execute the previous job to allocate a linear data set
  and the data class that is specified or gets assigned has a
  cisize of 32768, then the define will fail with a return 96
  reason 4 from catalog module IGG0CLEP. This is because when the
  cisize is picked up from the data class in module IGDVTSCT in
  procedure the code is using a LH ST sequence of instructions.
  32768 in hex is X'8000'. When a LH instruction is executed it
  will treat the two bytes as a signed binary value which means
  that X'8000' in this case is a negative 32768. The sign is
  propagated through high order bytes and when the ST instruction
  executes it will store X'FFFF8000' for the cisize. Catalog will
  then reject the request.
  

Local fix

• Decrease CISIZE

  IGD17103I CATALOG RC96 RSN4 IGG0CLEP WAS ISSUED WHEN DEFINING A
  VSAM LINEAR DATA SET VIA THE JCL DD CARD WITH A CISIZE OF
  32768=X'8000'.  THE ERROR OCCURRED BECAUSE THE CISIZE IN IGDVDD
  IS DEFINED WITH FIXED(15) THAT CAN ONLY CONTAIN A MAXIMUM
  VALUE OF 32767.
