PH23110: ARSSOCKD ABENDS IF AN INDEX IS ADDED TO AN EXISTING NON-UTS TABLESPACE. ALSO, MAXPARTITIONS MAYBE CALCULATED INCORRECTLY.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• For an application group, if a new index field is added or if
  an existing filter field is changed to an index field ARSSOCKD
  will abend under the following two conditions:
  1) The existing tablespaces are non-UTS.
  2) ARSMVS_DB_DSSIZE=n in ars.cfg
  
  Also, its possible that the tablespace could be incorrectly
  created with 1 for MAXPARTITIONS. Note: This APAR will only
  specify the correct MAXPARTITONS for new table spaces. The
  arstblsp commmand can be used to close the existing table and
  cause a new tablespace. Alternatively, an ALTER TABLESPACE
  can be used to increase the MAXPARTITIONS.

  *                      table. The applgrp data table will be   *

  *                      a CMOD at 9.0 or lower.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  ARGSEG has two space calculations for indexes, one for an index
  on tablespaces that dont specify MAXPARTITION (non-UTS) and
  one for an index tablespaces that specify MAXPARTITION. ARGSEG
  tried to use the MAXPARTITION calculation for tables created by
  CMOD 9.0 and below, leading to an ABEND S0C9.
  

Problem conclusion

• ARGSEG is changed to use the correct calculation for the index
  for non-UTS table spaces.
