PK43361: HPIC FASTIC DUMP PROCESS WRITES NO OUTPUT DATA IF THE DB IS MULTI-VOLUME AND USES MORE THAN 5 VOLUMES.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• HPIC FASTIC DUMP process writes no output data if the DB is
  multi-volume and uses more than 5 volumes. This is because HPIC
  overrides its control block with extent volser information.
  
  Another possible symptom of this overlay:
  Intermittent ABEND0C4 ( ABENDS0C4 S0C4 0C4 )in the
  HPIC / DFDSS exit, sometimes, when an image copy of the
  Primary Index is added to the HPIC step. This doesn't happen
  if the Primary Index is specified first.

  ****************************************************************
  HPIC Advanced Copy Services updates its control field by wrong
  address. As the result of that, HPIC process terminates with
  unexpected result such as:
  - HPIC does not write any IC record into output IC data set,
  when the input DBDS uses more than 5 volumes.
  - HPIC terminates with ABEND S0C4 ( ABEND0C4 ), when the input
  DBDS is the primary index.
  
  The updated field by wrong address is a control block for
  DFSMSdss API. The DFSMSdss UIM of HPIC refers the invalid data
  from the field and tries to process, then HPIC gets unexpected
  result.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJDSNP has been modified to use a correct register to get
  volume information of input DBDS.
  
  FABJDSSB has been modified to add new pointer field addressing
  of work area for DFSMSdss.
  
  FABJDFCN and FABJRFCN have been modified to set address of work
  area for DFSMSdss to new pointer field.
  
  FABJFCDN and FABJFCCN have been modified to use new pointer
  field addressing of work area for DFSMSdss.
  
  FABJFCCM has been modified to check at the assemble time if the
  length of work area for FABJFCCM exceeds the boundary of length.
  
  The following modules have been reassembled.
    FABJDFC7, FABJDFC8, FABJDFC9, FABJDFCA, FABJRFC7, FABJRFC8,
    FABJRFC9, FABJRFCA, FABJFCC7, FABJFCC8, FABJFCC9, FABJFCCA,
