  This APAR addresses the following problems:
  1. DR preparation job gets PUT error for Report Repository
  VSAM data set.
  2. Incorrect DB name filtering process for the pattern string
  having wild card.
  3. IMS RE cannot handle concatenated ACB data sets defined
  by DFSMDA.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following errors have been fixed.
  1. VSAM KSDS PUT error for Report Repository VSAM data set
  can be caused by the following programming errors:
   - Wrong key value is set to the report repository records
     when the system recovery profile is defined for DR profile.
   - Report repository update process is not properly serialized
     between DR prep jobs.
  
  2. DBD name matching error occurs when the pattern string
  satisfies the following conditions:
   - The pattern string ends with non-wildcard character.
   - The substring after the last wildcard character *
     is two consecutive same character.
  For example, when the pattern string AB*XX is specified and
  registered DBs are ABCDXX and ABCDXXX, ABCDXX is picked out,
  but ABCDXXX is not.
  
  3. MDA module parsing process has an error for concatenated
  ACB libraries. For example, if ACB libraries are defined as
  listed below, only the first data set IMS.ACB1 is picked out,
  the others are ignored.
  Error example:
  DFSMDA TYPE=INITIAL
  DFSMDA TYPE=IMSACBA
  DFSMDA TYPE=DATASET,DSNAME=IMS.ACB1
  DFSMDA TYPE=DATASET,DSNAME=IMS.ACB2
  DFSMDA TYPE=DATASET,DSNAME=IMS.ACB3
  DFSMDA TYPE=FINAL
  END
