PK22021: ONLINE POINTER CHECKER OUTPUTS DIFFER FROM FABADA1.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Output generated by OPC has the following problems:
  - FABADA5 isn't reporting the fixed length segment in defined
      length correctly (DEDB AREA ANALYSIS REPORTS).
    - PCL flag is not set to DA3S record.
    - FABADA5 does not report %USABLE FREESPACE (FREESPACE
      ANALYSIS).

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Online Pointer Checker (OPC) writes     *
  *                      the output data sets that are different *
  *                      from them that FPB DEDB PC does.        *
  *                      It occurs the succeeding FABADA5 step   *
  *                      outputs incorrect reports.              *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  OPC writes the output data sets that are different from them
  that FPB DEDB PC does.
  
  The succedding FABADA5 outputs the following incorrect reports.
  1. Does not report the fixed length segment on DB RECORD
     PROFILE ANALYSIS REPORT.
  2. Does not report %USABLE FREESPACE values of RAA, DOVF and
     IOVF on FREESPACE ANALYSIS (OVERVIEW).
  
  OPC sets the following incorrect values of the output data sets.
  3. The LENGTH= parameters of SORT12 and SORT3CS sort card files.
  4. The PCL flag of DA13SO record file.
  5. The available IOVF CIs of DAR13SO file.
  6. The flag of 2K year of DAR13SO file.
  

Problem conclusion

• OPC has modified to solve the above problems.
  
  1. "DB RECORD PROFILE ANALYSIS REPORT" reports the minimum of
  the "DEFINED LENGTH" as a "*" mark when the segment is the fixed
  length.

  +-------------------------------------------------------------+
  FPXADBT0 has been modified to set the flag of the fixed length
  segment to DAR12O record file, and to correct the miscellaneous
  problems. (above 5 and 6)
  2. "DEDB AREA ANALYSIS REPORTS" reports %USABLE FREESPACE in
  addition to %FPEESPACE on FREESPACE ANALYSIS - *** OVERVIEW ***.
  FPXACIA0 has been modified to sum up the usable freespace.
  FPXAPRC0 has been modified to remove 2,T record processing.
  FPXANAL0 has been modified to add 2,T record prcessing as a 'EA'
  call from FPXAPRCx.
  FPXMBLK has been modified to introduce the sum total area of
  the BASE/DOVF/IOVF usable freespace.
  FPXAMDAR has been modified to add the usable freespace area
  in DSECT of 2,T record.
  FPXBLSB0 has been modified to determine the length of minimum
  segment.
  3. FPXAPSA0 has been modified from RECORD TYPE=V,LENGTH=(L1)
     to RECORD TYPE=V,LENGTH=(,,,L4) of sort control statement
     in SORT12 and SORT3CS files.
  4. FPXADBR0 has been modified to set the PCL flag to DA13SO
     record file.
