PH71409: DURING AN FPA RUN, THE QSAM LOGICAL RECORD AREA FOR THE COMPRESSED IMAGE COPY DATASET IS NOT RELEASED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When FPA opens an image copy dataset compressed by the
  compression routine provided by IMS HP Image Copy as input, QSAM
  obtains a logical record area for spanned records.
  
  This logical record area is not released even when the dataset
  is closed.

  ****************************************************************
  When FPA opens an image copy dataset compressed by
  the compression routine provided by IMS HP Image Copy as input,
  QSAM obtains a logical record area for spanned records.
  This logical record area is not released even when the dataset
  is closed. Therefore, when the FPA processes a large number of
  input image copy datasets, a storage shortage may occur.
  

Problem conclusion

• FPA has been modified to issue a FREEPOOL macro to release
  the logical record area when closing a compressed image copy
  dataset.
