PI33594: CEX JOURNAL ABENDD37 AND ARCHIVE ABENDS002

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1. ABENDSD37 can occur on one or more of the CEX journals
  because the journal manager attempts to write to a track beyond
  the end of the journal.
  2. If a system is reset without giving the journal manager
  the chance to close the active journal, a subsequent
  archive job may ABENDS002 RC18 when it tries to copy data from
  past the point in the journal dataset where the EOF marker
  should have been.

  This APAR addresses the following issues:
  1.A D37 can occur on one or more of the CEX journals because
  the journal manager attempts to write to a track beyond the
  end of the journal.
  2.IF statement in archive skeleton may result in a JCL error.
  3.If a system is reset without giving the journal manager the
  chance to close the active journal a subsequent archive job
  may abend S002-18 when it tries to copy data from past the
  point in the journal dataset where the EOF marker should
  have been.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made for the above issues:
  1. The journal manager has been changed to process the last
  track in a manner that offers more protection against the
  D37 abends and to provide additional diagnostic information
  if a D37 does occur.
  2. Added support for IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF.
  3. The archive manager has been changed to do record level
  validation, if a record fails validation the warning
  message:
     FUN2712W Journal dataset <journal-dsname> is corrupted
  is issued and the input journal is closed and marked as
  available for use by the journal manager.
  4. The archive manager will check that journal datasets have
  been closed by the journal manager, if not the following
  message is issued:
  FUN2714W Journal dataset <journal-dsname> was not closed
  by the journal manager, potential record loss
  5. The archive manager will intercept I/O errors when reading
  the journal dataset and issue the message:
   FUN2715E Journal dataset <journal-dsname> may be unusable.
   Error description: <error-description>
  6. Below-the-line VSCR in some internal services related to
  VSAM I/O.
  7. New services added, which will be required by
  IMS Configuration Manager 2.2.
