PH49839: IROSENSR IS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED EVEN IF IT IS NOT APF-AUTHORIZED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Stand-alone Recovery Sensor of STEPLIB requires all libraries to
  be APF-authorized, but it will terminate normally even if they
  are not. In this APAR, IROSENSR will be modified to check the
  APF status of STEPLIB.

  ****************************************************************
  The Recovery Sensor manual states that all libraries
  specified in the STEPLIB must be APF-registered, but the
  Recovery Sensor does not check the APF-authorization status
  of STEPLIB.
  
  Therefore, If any of the libraries concatenated to STEPLIB is
   not APF-registered, and STEPLIB is not APF-authorized,
  dynamic allocation of RECON data sets using IMSDALIB DD cannot
   be performed and S206 ABEND will occur.
  
  Recovery sensor should check the APF authorization status of
  STEPLIB at the start time.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Recovery Sensor has been modified as follows:
  
  The Recovery Sensor checks the APF-authorization status of the
   STEPLIB using the TESTAUTH macro at the start time, and if it
  is not APF-authorized, it issues error message IRO4017A and
   terminates with return code 8.
