Error description

  • HP UNLOAD API does not support a GN/GNP call with three or
    more SSAs and MSGFABH0481E is issued for the call:
       FABH0481E: INVALID PARAMETER NUMBER IN CALL
    This restriction will be removed depending on the combination
    of qualified and unqualified SSAs.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IMS High Performance Unload for *
    *                 OS/390 Release 1 (FMID=H1IN110)              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: HP Unload API passes the GN call        *
    *                      with 3 SSAs to IMS DL/I incorrectly.    *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
    ****************************************************************
    This APAR provides the enhancements of HP Unload API.
    
    1. In APISET 2 and 3, a GN/GNP call with the N SSAs to
    retrieve the N-th level segment is supported (2<=N<=15).
    Here, the allowable combinations of qualified SSA and
    unqualified SSA are:
    - N unqualified SSAs
    - 1 qualified SSA for root and N-1 unqualified SSAs
    - 1 qualified SSA for root and N-2 unqualified SSAs
      and a qualified SSA
    - N-1 qualified SSAs and a unqualified SSA
    - N qualified SSAs
    
    For any other combinations of SSAs, the error of FABH0315E
    is issued.
    
    2. In APISET 2 or 3, the trace for the call that is unsupported
       by HP Unload API is printed in the HSSRTRAC data set.

    IBM IMS High Performance Unload for OS/390 User's Guide
    (SC27-0936-05) should be changed as follows:
    ================================================================
    1.6 Application programming interface
    1.6.2 Preparing and running application program
    1.6.2.3 Coding DL/I calls or EXEC DLI command for HSSR PCB
    1.6.2.3.1 Call types supported by each API set
    
     High Performance Unload supports three API sets. APISET 1 is
     the system default. Table 12 shows the DL/I call types
     supported by each API set, and their effects with and without
     segment search arguments (SSAs):
    
     Note: For restrictions, see "Restrictions" in topic 1.6.5.

     +--------+---------------------------------------------------+
     |APISET 2| The following call types are supported for HIDAM, |
     |        | HDAM, PHIDAM, and PHDAM in addition to the call   |
     |        | types supported in APISET 1:                      |
     |        | - GN, GHN, GNP, and GHNP calls with an unqualified|
     |        |  SSA that contains the name of a dependent segment|
     |        |  type.                                            |
     |        |                                                   |
     |        | - GN, GHN, GNP, and GHNP calls with a qualified   |
     |        |  SSA that contains the name of a dependent segment|
     |        |  type at the second level.                        |
     |        |                                                   |
    ||        | - GN, GHN, GNP, and GHNP calls with N SSAs        |
    ||        |   to retrieve the segment at the N-th level       |
    ||        |   (2<=N<=15). The following combinations of SSAs  |
    ||        |   are supported:                                  |
    ||        |    - N unqualified SSAs                           |
    ||        |    - N qualified SSAs                             |
    ||        |    - a qualified SSA, N-2 unqualified SSAs, and   |
    ||        |      a unqualified or qualified SSA               |
    ||        |    - N-1 qualified SSAs and a unqualified SSA     |
    ||        |                                                   |
    ||        |  Here, the first SSA must contain the root segment|
    ||        |  name and only "equal-to" (=b,b=,or EQ) relational|
    ||        |  operator is allowed for each qualified SSA.      |
     |        |                                                   |
     +--------+---------------------------------------------------+
     |APISET 3| The fully supported call types are the same as    |
     |        | those in APISET 2. Once an unsupported call is    |
     |        | issued  for HIDAM, HDAM, PHIDAM, or  PHDAM,       |
     |        | the call and all the succeeding calls to          |
     |        | the HSSR PCB are passed to the IMS DL/I call      |
     |        | handler to continue the processing instead of     |
     |        | ending it abnormally.                             |
     +--------+---------------------------------------------------+
    
     ===============================================================
     1.6.5 Restrictions
     :
     The following restrictions apply to HSSR calls:
      - For details of call types supported in each API set,
        see "Call types supported by each API set"
    
        - If APISET 1 or 2 is specified, or if the target is
          a non-HD database, the following restrictions are applied:
          - An unqualified or qualified SSA is not fully supported.
    |     - Three or more SSAs are supported restrictedly.
          - Command codes except for NULL('*-') command code are not
            supported.
          - Multiple qualification statements are not supported.
    
        - If APISET 3 is specified for non-HD database and the
          unsupported call is issued, HSSR Engine ends abnormally
          without passing the succeeding call to IMS DL/I.
    
           - A get-next call issued after GU calls that returned
             a GE status might not return the same segment as DL/I.

     4.4.2.1 FABH messages
    
     ( The explanation of the FABH0315E message is modified.)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
     FABH0315E  GU/GHU/GN/GHN/GNP/GHNP  CALL SSA-n IS UNSUPPORTED:
               reason
    
     Explanation: The application program issued a call with one
    |or more SSAs. The n-th SSA is not supported by the HSSR call
     handler. The reason is one of:
       SEGMENT NAME
           The segment name is not defined in the HSSR PCB.
       SEGMENT LEVEL
           The SSA for the segment level is not supported.
       COMMAND CODE
           The command code is not supported.
       NON-SEQ FIELD
           The field is not a sequence key.
    |  NON-UNIQUE KEY
    |      The key field is not unique
       RELATIONAL OPERATOR
           The relational operator is not supported.
       MULTI QUALIFICATION STATEMENTS
           The multi-qualification statement is not supported.
       QUALIFIED SSA
           The qualified SSA for root segment is not supported
           because the database is HDAM or PHDAM.
     | CALL FUNCTION
     |     The call type is not supported.
     | UNKNOWN
     |     Unknown reason
    
       The unsupported call is printed in the Trace output report
       in the HSSRTRAC data set.
    
     System Action: If APISET is 2, HSSR Engine ends abnormally.
       If APISET is  3, the call and all the succeeding calls to
       the HSSR PCB are passed to the IMS DL/I call handler to
       continue the processing instead of ending it abnormally.
    
     Programmer Response: If APISET is 2, specify 'APISET 3'.
       If APISET is 3, ignore this message.  For details about
       the call types and command types supported by the HSSR call
       handler, see "Call types supported by each API set" or
       "EXEC DLI command types supported by each API set".
