OA67472: IDCDOUT FIELDS HAVE WRONG DEFINITIONS

APAR status

• Closed as requirement.

Error description

• The IDCDOUT macro in SYS1.MACLIB contains wrong definitions for
  a certain number of fields. For example
  DCUTMSTP DS    1CL0008   TIMESTAMP FIELD
  
  This timestamp field is defined as 8 characters instead of a
  hexadecimal value as it should be. The fields are filled
  correctly by the IDCAMS DCOLLECT function. But programs may fail
  which want to use assemble the IDCDOUT macro and rely on correct
  field definitions.
  

Local fix

• Create a copy of the IDCDOUT member and modify the field
  definitions as needed.
  

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• IBM may address this requirement in a future release. In the
  meantime, users are advised to create a copy of the IDCDOUT
  member and modify the field definitions as needed.
