PH39952: A NEW OPTION TO PROVIDE A RESTART CHECKPOINT ID FROM A CKPTID PARAMETER WITHIN THE JCL EXEC PARAMETER

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• IMS Program Restart Facility currently provides a restart
  checkpoint ID from its CTDS datasets. However, if a CKPTID
  parameter is specified in the JCL EXEC parameter to provide
  a restart checkpoint ID, it is ignored.
  This APAR addresses a requirement to provide the checkpoint ID
  from a CKPTID parameter even when there are no CTDS datasets.
