PH47864: AT, AL, OT CONTROL CARDS OF IZTUD1U0 GET AN ERROR WHEN THE 8TH CHARACTER OF THE NAME OF AN ENTRY IS *

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An error occurs when
  * Using IZTUD1U0 (batch update utility)
   * Control cards of IZTUD1U0 are one of the following formats
  and the 8th position of <name> is an asterisk.
   ** AT <name>/<abend_type>/<abend_code>
   ** AL <name>/<abend_type>/<abend_code>
   ** OT <name>
  
  When the error occurs, ETOS shows IZT7106E messages like
  "IZT7106E ** AT PROCESSING NOT SUCCESSFUL - TRANSACTION(S)
  IGNORED" and input is ignored.
  
  Supplementary, this bug will not happen if <abend_type> and
  <abend_code> were not specified even when they are AT and AL
  control cards. ETOS user's guide pages for reference, AT
  [https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ims-etos/3.2?topic=utility-transact
  ion-abend-control-statements] , AL

Local fix

• * Use IZTRAN to update affected entries.
   * Use the percent sign % instead of the asterisk *. According
  to the following pages of the user's guide, an asterisk on the
  8th position can be replaced with a percent sign.
