Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All IMS V15 users of the IMS Catalog Populate utility        *
  * (DFS3PU00) or                                                *
  * the ACB Generation and Catalog Populate utility (DFS3UACB)   *
  *                                                              *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When the LATEST parameter is specified or defaulted, the     *
  * specified utilities first perform a GHU DL/I call to         *
  * retrieve the header segment from the catalog for the         *
  * in-bound object. If the GHU was successful and the in-bound  *
  * object instance should be inserted into the catalog, the     *
  * utilities also attempt to insert the header segment in the   *
  * catalog.  In the case of LATEST when GHU is successful, the  *
  * ISRT attempt for the header segment is unnecessary.          *
  *                                                              *
  * When the UNCOND parameter is specified, the affected         *
  * utilities do not perform the initial GHU DL/I call to        *
  * retrieve the header segment.  An ISRT DLI call is attempted  *
  * to insert the header segment in the catalog.  If the segment *
  * already exists, a GHN DLI call is performed to establish the *
  * proper position for the subsequent ISRT attempts of child    *
  * segments of the header.                                      *
  *                                                              *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF.                     *
  *                                                              *
  *                                                              *

  When performing a DBDGEN macro comment statements may be written
  to the assembly output.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFS3PU00 and DFS3PU30 have been changed to coordinate the need
  to perform an ISRT or not when LATEST has been specified or
  defaulted.
  
  DFSFTAB has been changed to omit the macro comment statements.
