Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• MSGDFS4335E is issued and HDPC gets ABENDU4034 in DRF job when
  the DFSMDA member for the system data sets of the IMS catalog is
  created but the library containing that DFSMDA member is not
  specified in the FABPATH0 and FABPATHZ procedures.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: IBM IMS High Performance Pointer Checker for *
  *                 z/OS Version 3 Release 1 (FMID=HPC2310)      *
  *                 users who run HD Pointer Checker (HDPC) in   *
  *                 IMS Database Recovery Facility (DRF) jobs.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When you run HDPC under DRF jobs in IMS *
  *                      management of ACBs environment, you had *
  *                      to specify the libraries with the       *
  *                      followings to the STEPLIB DD in the     *
  *                      FABPATH0/FABPATHZ procedures:           *
  *                      - The IMS Catalog Definition exit       *
  *                      - The DFSMDA member that the HLQ of IMS *
  *                        catalog system data sets is defined   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  Before applying the PTF of this APAR, and when IMS management of
  ACBs is enabled and you run HD Pointer Checker (HDPC) in DRF
  jobs, the libraries containing the followings had to be
  specified to the STEPLIB DD in the FABPATH0 and FABPATHZ
  procedures:
  - The IMS Catalog Definition exit
  - The DFSMDA member that the HLQ of IMS catalog system data sets
    is defined if it is created
  

Problem conclusion

• After applying the PTF, you no longer need to specify those
  libraries to the STEPLIB DD in the procedures.
  HDPC automatically transfers the information about the libraries
  specified for the DRF master address space to the HPPC
  subordinate address space that is started by the FABPATH0 or
  FABPATHZ procedure, then allocates and uses them in the HPPC
  subordinate address space.
  
  The PTF of DRF APAR PH66008 needs to be applied to DRF.
