PI65246: A BAD TIME STAMP IN THE SUFFIX OF A LOG RECORD CAN BE FORMATTED INTO AN INVALID DATE / TIME FIELD

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IMS PI tries to check if the STCK time stamp in the log record
  suffix is valid. In some cases an invalid time stamp can still
  be formatted into an invalid date/time field.
  
  Summary of changes:
    If the STCK time stamp in a log record suffix is determined
  to be invalid, IMS PI will not produce a formatted date/time
  result field. Instead, IMS PI issues message ALZ0053W and
  continues processing. If an error is found in another field in
  the same record, no formatted date/time will result, but the
  ALZ0053W warning message will be suppressed and the error
  message will be issued instead.
