Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: 01.All zExpl and IDz users listing a * * partition dataset on 31 bit system. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.In IDz 14.1 Users might not be able * * to run an operation related to * * directory listing of a partition * * dataset with the error and forced * * to disconnect. * **************************************************************** 01.During the directory listing of a partition dataset, when an abend occurs due to a closing of an invalid dataset DCB handle, a recursive chain of the abend may occur.
Problem conclusion
01.The condition handler of the partition dataset directory listing routine attempts to close the dataset DCB handle when it was flagged as opened. In some error listing condition, when the DCB handle was not set properly, calling close function on it may cause the abend, leading to a repeated condition handler routine invocation. Resetting the dataset open flag when closing the DCB preventing the recursive behavior when the DCB is invalid. This fix does not resolve the original issue of the cause for an invalid DCB handle.
