PH38785: CM BATCH INVALID DDL DATASET ISSUE ERROR MESSAGE INSTEAD OF ONLYIBM0121S ONCODE=21

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an invalid source or target DDL dataset (for example, with
  LRECL=133) is used in a CM Batch compare, the following error
  may occur:
  
  IBM0121S ONCODE=21  The RECORD condition was raised because the
           length of the record variable was less than the record
           length (FILE= DDLNI).
           From entry point ADBCDTS at statement 2418 at compile
           unit offset >offset< at entry offset >offset< at
           address >address<.
  
  Note: Statement numbers are approximate, and may vary somewhat,
         depending on maintenance applied.
  
  
  With this APAR applied, CM Batch will also issue an
  informational error message, as Compare currently does when an
  invalid dataset is specified using the panels.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a CM batch job specifies a data    *
  *                      set with a logical record length        *
  *                      (LRECL) greater than the supported      *
  *                      length, ONCODE=21 is returned without   *
  *                      an explanation of the issue.            *
  ****************************************************************
  When a CM batch job specifies a data set with LRECL greater than
  the supported limit, ONCODE=21 is returned with no further
  explanation.
  When the same process is done by using panels, the
  panel displays a message to explain that an invalid data set was
  specified. The CM batch job log should also contain
  a similar message along with ONCODE=21. That message should
  explain that the specified data set has an LRECL value that is
  greater than the supported length and provide the supported
  length values to the user.
