Error description

  • When RGE is executed using the DDEFPDS2 DD while a shadow DBDS
    remains before RGE execution, IEC161I 066(002)-026 occurs in the
    reload task, resulting in HPSR3618E (OPEN ERROR) and ABEND
    U3618.

    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
    ****************************************************************
    This occurs when the volume of an existing shadow DBDS differs
    from the volume of a newly created one by DDEFPDS2.
    The old volume is stored in TIOT during dynamic allocation,
    and a mismatch arises when a new shadow DBDS is created
    on a different volume, causing an OPEN error.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Reorg Expert has been modified so that dynamic deallocation is
    performed for shadow DBDS created by DDEFPDS2 DD, allowing
    subsequent dynamic allocation to correctly register the volume
    information in TIOT and eliminate the mismatch.
