PI13705: ALLOW USER TO SPECIFY ZERO FOR BLOCK SIZE ON INZB61 OR INZA40 PANEL

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• The ISPF interface of the unload does not allow to specify zero
  (0) for the block size value of either OUTDDN (INZB61 panel) or
  UNLDDN (INZA40).
  
  Although a default value can be used (by leaving the block size
  field on either INZA40 or INZB61 blank), it is useful to be able
  to explicitly specify BLKSIZE=0 to avoid any use of BLKSIZE
  specified by other means (either by the utility or via a
  DATACLASS class).
  
  As specifying BLKSIZE=0 is valid, the unload ISPF interface
  should allow to specify this value.

Local fix

• As a reminder ISPF HPU allows not to specify the BLKSIZE value.
