OA44434: MSGHASP107 WHEN PROCESSING JCLLIB STATEMENT AND ORDER= SPECIFIESA DATASET LIST WITH >256 CHARACTERS.**APAR IN ERROR-SEE OA47208

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Under JES2 2.1 (HJE7790):  JOB is submitted with a JCLLIB which
  specifies a list of datasets.  JCLLIB allows a maximum of 15
  datasets.  If the dataset list happens to exceed 256 characters
  (within the limit of 15 datasets), the job will get a JCL
  error ($HASP107).  Ex:
  .
  //PROCS JCLLIB ORDER=(SYS1.PROCLIBTEST1111.TEST1111,
  //            SYS1.TEST2222.SYST2222.PROCLIB.IMSA,
  //            SYS1.TEST3333.SYST3333.PROCLIB.IMSB,
  //            SYS1.TEST4444.SYST4444.PROCLIB.IMSC,
  ...
  //            SYS1.TEST4444.SYST4444.PROCLIB.IMSF)
  .
  When job with above JCLLIB is submitted, only 256 characters
  will be read in starting from "ORDER" leading to a truncated
  JCLLIB statement, causing:
  .
  $HASP107 JEANBR   -- NON-VALID JCLLIB   STMT - VALUE FOR ORDER
  KEYWORD NOT VALID
  .
  Customer impact:
  Jobs meeting above criterias will not run.
  Verification steps:
  - $HASP107
  - A dump will show the truncated JCLLIB card in the JRW data
    area  ($JRW +x'EC' field JRWSTMT).

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of HJE7790                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JES2 incorrectly indicates an error on  *
  *                      a JCLLIB card if the ORDER= value is    *
  *                      greater than 256 characters.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When JES2 is processing the ORDER= keyword on the JCLLIB
  statement, an error is incorrectly indicated if the data sets
  specified result in an operand length that is greater than 256
  characters.  The following message is issued:
  $HASP107 xxxxxxxx -- NON-VALID JCLLIB   STMT - VALUE FOR ORDER
           KEYWORD NOT VALID
  This results in the job failing at conversion time.

  CLPA is needed only if HASCxxxx modules currently reside in
  the pageable link pack area (PLPA).
  
  Code that parses the JCLLIB statement is updated to not flag
  an error on any keyword other than the PROCLIB keyword.
  
  In addition, an extraneous message was generated when multiple
  PROCLIB= keywords were specified on a single JCLLIB statement.
  The message (shown below) has been eliminated in this case.
    $HASP146 Second JCLLIB statement ignored
  JES2 only honors the first instance of PROCLIB= on the JCLLIB
  statement.  Conversion processing continues to treat multiple
  instances of PROCLIB= as an error which will result in the job
  failing.
