OA65787: LOGICAL COPY basic/large encryption, expdt, and gdg issues ZDMF/K 23/11/17 PTF PECHANGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1. zDMF Logical Copy does not propagate the expiration date to
  the new processed output data set.
  
  2. When BASIC-LARGE-ENCRYPTION is requested with Logical Copy,
     the data sets are incorrectly converted to extended format.
     This error was introduced with OA65568.
  
  3. When processing Generation Dataset Groups (GDG), some
     storage overlay can occur if a large number of data sets
     are included in the group.

  1. zDMF Logical Copy does not propagate the expiration date to
     the new processed output data set.
  
  2. When BASIC-LARGE-ENCRYPTION is requested with Logical Copy,
     the datasets are incorrectly converted to extended format.
     This error was introduced with OA65568.
  
  3. When processing Generation Dataset Groups (GDG), some
     storage overlay can occur if a large number of datasets
     are included in the group.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. zDMF has been updated to add the expiration date to the new
     copy of the data set if it has one.
  
  2. zDMF has been changed to only convert a data set to extended
     format when CONVERT-TO-EXTENDED is explicitly specified.
  
  3. zDMF has been changed to use the correct data set list when
     processing GDGs.
