PH12441: SJR IS DONE ON AN OPERATION THAT ENDED OSEQ. EQQM991E IS ISSUED BUT 5.2 BROWSE AND MODIFY SHOW DIFFERENT STATUS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An externally submitted job with TYPRUN=HOLD was released ($AJ)
  before it had gone READY from IWSz perspective, which caused
  an OSEQ error. The operation was then modified to have error
  code S222 and a simple job restart (SJR) done causing message
  EQQM991E. If the operation in then browsed via 5.2 panel the
  correct status is shown but if a MODIFY is done via 5.2 the
  status shows WAIT (W).
  .
  This can be reproduced as follows:
  (1)After CP EXTEND, job J in application X has an external
  dependency for job Y in application Z.
  (2) Job J is then submitted with TYPRUN=HOLD outside of IWSz.
  (3) Job J is released ($AJ command) even though it is not in
  READY status (due to the external dependency).
  (4) Job J gets OSEQ error and message:
  EQQM991E ERROR DURING MCP UPDATE.  FAILING MODULE: EQQMC3ST
  17/11/30 08.17
  EQQM912E INVALID DEPENDENCY nnn TO: Z
  EQQM912I EXTERNAL PREDECESSOR FOUND, STATUS CANNOT BE CHANGED
  (5) SJR issued for the operation in OSEQ status results in
  message
  EQQM208E The status cannot be changed - ext/conditional
  successor S,C,X or E
  (6) From  5.2 panel the status is modified from OSEQ to S222
  (7) From 5.2 BROWSE the occurence and it shows error code S222
  as expected:
  Status of operation   : Ended in error    S222
  (8) MODIFY same occurrence from 5.2 shows:
      STATUS              ===> W          Operation status
                                          (S,R,I,E,C)
      ERROR CODE          ===> S222       Error code if status E
      (the status should be E (ERROR) )
  (9)Press enter or PF3 results in "INCONSISTENT CODE"
     EQQM041E Error code must be blank for operation not in error
  (10) Use CANCEL command to get out of the panel

  ****************************************************************
  If an operation is in OSEQ, you can
  modify and save the Error Code on
  EQQMMGEP ISPF panel. If you display
  again the EQQMMGEP ISPF panel, via
  Modify command, the status of the
  operation is incorrectly showed as W.
  

Problem conclusion

• When a operation is in OSEQ and it have a predecessor with
  status = W the possibility to modify of the Error Code of this
  (EQQMMGEP panel) has been inhibited because this action can
  only performed if the predecessor have the status C,D or X.
  In this case the dialog send a new EQQM131E message error.
