PI79114: CANNOT USE DOPT PSBS WHEN IMS CATALOG ENABLED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The code path for the DOPT PSBs when IMS Catalog is enable
  happens via BLDL in DFSDBLI0. The BLDL uses the PDRI copy which
  sets a time stamp in field PDIRGENT. This is not set in the
  PDIR master. Since the timestamp is never set in the PDIR master
  PDIRGENT a GUR call is never able to find the correct memberin
  the IMS Catalog for a DOPT PSB causing the error code to be in
  the AIB RC/RSN fields.

  ****************************************************************
  When a GUR call is issued for a DOPT PSB IMS attempts to get the
  ACBLIB timestamp from the PDIR of the DOPT PSB.  The PDIR for a
  DOPT PSB does not contain the timestamp because it was not set
  during scheduling.  Since the timestamp is null IMS will always
  return back an error during GUR processing indicating that the
  DOPT PSB could not be found in the catalog.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code in the following parts has been changed to resolve the
  reported defect in IMS.
  
  
  * DFS3GUR0 *
  
  Code has been added to issue a BLDL in case a GUR has been
  issued for a DOPT PSB which is not the current PSB.  If the GUR
  was issued for the PSB being used by this application then the
  BLDL is skipped and the timestamp set during scheduling is used.
  This is done because the PDIR timestamp in this PSB's PDIR must
  be used since the DOPT PSB might have changed from the time of
  the scheduling of this application until the time of the GUR
  call being issued.
  
  
  * DFSDBLI0 *
  
  Code has been added to set the timestamp in the DOPT PSB PDIR
  control block.  This timestamp can be used by a subsequent GUR
  after it has been set.
