Error description

  • With RSEAPI 1.2.2, when a dataset search is performed, the
    attributes defined for the dataset are returned, but, with two
    blank lines in the listing.
    
    These lines cause the parsing to fail and the error
    "dsn(dataset name), unsupported type Unavailable" is returned.
    The dataset does have attributes defined, but the RSEAPI code is
    not parsing them correctly.
    
    This is an example:
    2025.07.09 15:37:18:085 EDT PID:84017370
    DStoreMVSNativeFileInfo->jniQuery() DEBUG : SYS.PROD.MACROS

    alse,"volumeSerial":"Unavailable","recordFormat":"Unavailable",
    "dsnType":"Unavailable","dataSetOrganization":"Unavailable","ds

    dsorgQueried=Unavailable, getDsorgReport=Unavailable }

    The actual ISPF listing of the dataset attributes shows:
