    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IMS Performance Analyzer V4.5       *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When DBRC Log Selection is used, and    *
    *                      the IMSID begins with 'IST' the         *
    *                      generated IMS Log DD Names will begin   *
    *                      with 'LIST'.  This causes IMS PA to     *
    *                      assume these DD Names are report output *
    *                      data sets, when in fact they are        *
    *                      IMS Log data sets.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    Code is changed to detect whether DD Names that begin 'LIST'
    are input IMS Log data sets, or IMS PA report output data
    sets.  If they are for input Logs, they are used as such.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code is changed to detect whether DD Names that begin 'LIST'
    are input IMS Log data sets, or IMS PA report output data
    sets.  If they are for input Logs, they are used as such.
