Error description

  • Under certain conditions, the product may incorrectly begin
    reading a non-Db2 BSDS (Bootstrap Data Set), leading to a JOB
    hang in modules ALAGEN1, ALADTL1, or ALAMGR.   This issue stems
    from an erroneous BSDS name validation logic. This APAR fixes
    the BSDS name validation logic and prevents the hang.
