PI73039: ERROR IN WORKER PAUSE FUNCTION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Bug fix: BKRBKUP's "PAUSE" command failed due to an
  uninitialized REXX variable.
  This change corrects a bug in the BKRBKUP "PAUSE" command.
  Prior to this update, PAUSE would fail due to an
  unitialized REXX variable trap.
  .
  Extended function: Enable RESTORE to real DASD devices
  RESTORE has been modified to allow restore of ECKD or
  FBA DASD image backups directly to real DASD. The target
  device must be online but not ATTACHed to SYSTEM. Refer
  to the updated Administrator's Guide for details.
  .
  Extended function: Catalog file space image export
  Adds a new command, "CATBACKUP EXPORT", to the BKRBKUP
  command set. When a suitable CMS-format destination
  minidisk has been provisioned for BKRBKUP and identified
  in BKRSYSTM CONFIG, an image of the current backup catalog
  SFS file space can be saved in standard CMS "FILEPOOL
  UNLOAD" format. If this minidisk is included in a
  disaster recovery DDRTAPE backup of the system, then
  it can be used to facilitate recovery of the backup
  catalog. Refer to the updated Administrator's Guide
  for details.
  .
  Extended function: Enable wild-card args for SET EXPIRE
  Syntax of BKRCATLG's "SET EXPIRE" command has been
  extended to allow for LISTFILE-compatible wild-card
  expressions in the <jobname> and <instance> arguments.
  For example, "SET EXPIRE SAMPINCR * +1" is accepted as
  valid syntax for SET EXPIRE. Refer to the updated
  Administrator's Guide for details.
  .
  Update: Sample SVM PROFILE EXECs use the SSI member
  name to create a unique SFS directory for temp files.
  When service virtual machines are configured to use an
  SFS directory for temporary files, the directory path
  is now generated with the SSI member node name as part
  of the path string. This ensures a unique non-shared
  directory path is used for service virtual machines
  in an SSI configuration.
  .
  Update: Sample BKRSYSTM CONFIG updated to reflect new
  settings for restore to real DASD and catalog export.
  New settings related to expanded function have been
  added to the sample BKRSYSTM CONFIG file.
  .
  New Items: BFSDUMP SAMPEXEC, BFSLOAD SAMPEXEC
  Example code for driving BKRBFSTL and BKRBFSLD to
  back up or reload an BFS file space in BKR native
  format.
