OA61594: ABEND DM760 ISSUED FOR JOBS BEING DELETED DURING WARMSTART WITH ANALYSIS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During a JES3 warm start with analysis, a DM760 ABEND is issued
  for the job(s) specified for removal during the warm start with
  analysis.
  
  ANALYSIS:
  For a job being deleted on a warm start with analysis, JES3 does
  not reclaim the job's spool space (label VTAT1300 in IATDMJV).
  Later, when looking at the job's JDS, JES3 identifies that the
  JDSTOKEN is zero for several JDS entries. As a result, some JCT
  fields (including the JDSTOKEN) are copied into the JDS entry
  (label VJOB1460).  After that, JES3 sets JVWJDSUP to indicate
  that the JDS needs to be written to spool.  Later, when the
  write is attempted,, a DM760 abend is issued because the spool
  space was not reclaimed.
  
  KNOWN IMPACT:
  DM760 abend issued for job(s) specified for removal during a
  warm start with analysis.
  
  VERIFICATION STEPS:
  1). Initiate a JES3 warm start with analysis.
  2). Specify specific jobs for removal when prompted.
  3). DM760 issued for job(s) specified for removal.

  ****************************************************************
  JES3 was restarted using warmstart with analysis, and some
  jobs were flagged for deletion.  When such a job was
  processed by INJOBVAL, its spool space was not reclaimed.
  
  Later, module IATDMJV detected that some JDS (IATYJDS) fields
  were not present, so it modified the JDS and attempted to
  update the modified JDS on spool.  Since the spool space was
  not assigned to the job, the write failed with ABENDDM760
  RSN18.
  

Problem conclusion

• Installation On (All Processors)
               Order (Any)
  Activation   Order (Any)
               Type/JES3 restart (None)
               Type/IPL (None)
               CLPA (No)
  (See Apar II07968 for definitions)
  
  A new bit JVWNOREC has been added to macro IATYJVW to
  indicate that a job's spool space was not reclaimed.  Module
  IATDMJV has been changed to set the new bit when needed, and
  to skip updating a job's JDS (IATYJDS) when the bit is on.
  Modules IATIPJVW and IATJVLG have been updated to display the
  description of the new bit.
