OA66522: GDG DATASET PROCESSING CAN FAIL WITH MESSAGE GZD4023E WHEN CATALOG RECORD HAS EXTENSION RECORDS. ZDMF/K

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In some cases of GDGs with a large number of generations, with
  multi-volume datasets, zDMF can fail certain generation data
  sets during the divert process.  This can cause uncataloged
  versions of the generation, and the GDS is not migrated.

  ****************************************************************
  Message GZD4023E is issued with a reason blurb of "GDS record
  mismatch", indicating that the rename cannot be completed.  It
  should be backed out, but this fails, and the generation
  dataset is no longer correctly cataloged.
  The rename processing for GDGs checks for source and target GDS
  entries being both in the GDG base catalog record, or both in
  GDG extension records.  If they are not, it marks the dataset in
  error, and it should back out the dataset rename already done.
  

Problem conclusion

• The check for having the GDG entry in the same record type is
  removed, and now processed correctly even if mis-matched.
