OA65995: ZDMF CAUSES IEC507D WTOR FOR DATASETS WITH UNEXPIRED EXPDT ZDMF/K

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When datasets with an unexpired expiration date are processed by
  zDMF, the system issues message IEC507D E, when the target
  dataset is opened. This message is a WTOR that requires an
  operator to decide whether to allow or deny the open. This can
  cause the copy to fail, or at least causes unnecessary delay.
  
  Workaround is to automate the reply to IEC507D.

  ****************************************************************
  zDMF allocates target datasets based on copying most attributes
  from the source datasets, including expiration date. When these
  are opened for output, the system issues the IEC507D WTOR
  because they are not expired. This leads to delays at best,
  and failures if an 'M' is the response.
  

Problem conclusion

• zDMF will now allocate target datasets without an expiration
  date set.  When divert processing renames the datasets, the
  expiration date will then be copied from the source.
