PH23292: PREVENT OSC FROM PROCESSING IF THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE IMS RESLIB OF THE EDIT/COMPRESSION ROUTINE DEFINITIONS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Force OSC to stop the initialize process, when the
  edit/compression routine definitions in the 'old' and 'new'
  DBD definitions are the same, but the values for
  IMSRESLB_EDC_DSN and NEWRESLB_EDC_DSN are different.
  This enhancement will prevent a possible database corruption.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR provides some enhancements    *
  *                      related to edit/compression routine     *
  *                      replacement for OSC.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  To prevent a possible database corruption, OSC has been enhanced
  as follows:
  - Stops processing in the initialize phase, when the definitions
  of the old and the new edit/compression routines are the same
  but the values for IMSRESLB_EDC_DSN and NEWRESLB_EDC_DSN are
  different.
  
  - To specify the keyword SKIP_OLC=YES is not allowed when
  
  replacing edit/compression routines.
  
  - The DD statements for the randomizer and the edit/compression
  
  routines have been separated in the OSC internal JOBs.
