  1. Data set names on the Recover panel may be corrupted if other
     panels are displayed first.
  2. If the AUTOARC command has been run prior to running
     repository migration, the migration job could fail with
     message CYG573E.
  3. Comments added by CSAVE and the started task do not appear in
     the SHOW=BACKUP report.
  4. If a protected data set is renamed or deleted while the
     started task is inactive, when the started task is
     subsequently restarted, the SURVEILLANCE command removes the
     data set from the protection list with no warning.
  5. If a member is checked out to a RACF group and a user
     belonging to that RACF group attempts to use CSAVE on that
     checked out member, the CSAVE fails with a "CHECKED OUT BY
     ANOTHER USER" message.
  6. When members of a protected data set are deleted and the data
     set or other members of the PDS are renamed shortly
     afterwards, the started task may abend with an 0C4 or A78.
  7. The UNPROTECT command takes a long time to complete for a
     protected data set that contains many members or the members
     have had many updates.
  8. An 0C6 abend can occur when the stated task refreshes the
     protection list.
  9. The Check In panel shows all protected data sets but only
     needs to show those that have checked out members.
  10.Extended comments displayed by the SHOW=ACTIONS command with
     the EXTENDEDCOMMENT option have incorrect characters in the
     first line.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. The code is changed to correctly display the Recovery panel
     data set names.
  2. The code is changed to correctly handle records relating to
     archives.
  3. CSAVE comments now appear in the SHOW=BACKUP report.
  4. A message is now issued when a deleted or renamed data set is
     encountered and the data set is no longer removed from the
     protection list.
  5. Users in a RACF group to which a member is checked out can
     now successfully use CSAVE.
  6. The code is changed to allow deletions and renaming of
     members, within quick succession, belonging to a protected
     data set.
  7. The code is changed to eliminate unnecessary processing with
     the UNPROTECT command.
  8. The code is changed to better handle shared storage when
     building the protection list.
  9. The Check In panel now only lists data sets that have members
     checked out.
  10.The SHOW=ACTIONS command now shows extended comments
     correctly.
