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.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM IMS Database Reorganization Expert for * * z/OS V4.1(FMID=H25N410). * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM 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.
