PK04557: KEY NOT FOUND UNLESS AREA NUMBER PROVIDED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Attempting to retrieve using a key (alphanumeric or hex) will
  not be accomplish unless the area is specified. Typically, the
  area is not known but the area is developed by the randomizer
  and should be used by DBRF and not requested of the user.

  ****************************************************************
  The current code requires that you enter an area number when
  doing key access to DEDB. This fix removes this requirement, as
  the area number is determined from information that DBRF gets
  from the randomizer when it is called to process that key.  On
  panel FABZPS1, you still must enter area number when RBA or BLK
  retrieval is attempted.  Also for DEDBs, FSE structure is not
  the same as for non-FP databases, so the panel that displays
  FSEs, FABZPS9 , will not work. For consistnecy, we will not
  allow FSE=Y or RAPS=Y entry on FABZPS1 when it is DEDB. The user
  can still view/modify RAPs/FSEs in panel FABZPS10, in their raw
  format. Finally, when key access is done on FABZPS1 panels, a
  return to that panel would show the RBA, this is incorrect
  behavior since the panel should only display what values the
  user had originally entered, now the RBA value will not appear
  if you did a key entry on this panel.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fact that the FP randomizer would also tell you the area
  number for a given key was a logic oversight.  Also, the
  difference between FP FSEs and non-FP FSEs was a logic
  oversight. The FP FSEs also have the high-bit on. It was not
  feasible to handle this difference ,and all its ramifications ,
  in the seperate panel for FSE disply,FABZPS9. We feel that any
  DBA who wants to modify FP FSEs must be very experienced, and
  will thus be able to find and change them in the panel that
  displays the entire block, FABZPS10.  Finally, when you enter
  just the key on fabzps1, it takes you to fabzps2. PF3 returns
  you to fabzps1, at which point it was confusing to see the key
  and rba appear.
