  QMF/TSO and issuing either the
  
  - EXPORT command to an existing TSO data set
  
  OR
  
  - IMPORT from an existing TSO data set

  Module DSQCFSTA is called during IMPORT and EXPORT to an
  existing data set processing. This module was using the OBTAIN
  macro without the EADSCB=OK keyword. This has been corrected.
  QMF EXPORT and IMPORT services were enabled in QMF 11.1 for
  support of EAV volumes.
  

Problem conclusion

• DSQCFSTA has been corrected.
