PK65721: IQCABAT0 DURING RELOAD GETS MSGIQCA017E IF THREE RECONS ARE NOT IN THE JCL, AND RECON1 OR RECON2 IS NOT OPERATIONAL

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IQCABAT0 during RELOAD can get error message IQCA017E. This can
  occur when QCF is looking to dynalloc only RECON1 and RECON2.
  If these RECONs are not operational, DSPURX00/DSPURXRT returns
  the error message because it has less than 2 RECONs allocated.
  The error message received is:
  IQCA017E - Not zero return code from DSPURX00/DSPURXRT.

  All users of QCF2.1 queue rebuilding
  procedures. Procedures for authomatic
  checkpoint selection and dynamic log
  allocation should use 3 RECON data sets
  (they allocate  and use  only RECON1 and
  RECON2 and end with error when one of these
  2 RECONs is discarded).
  

Problem conclusion

• Programs are changed to allocate and use 3 RECON data sets.
  
  Next messages have been changed from type E to type I (inform)
  IQCA024I - Allocation failed for RECON1 via IMSDALIB/STEPLIB.
  IQCA025I - Allocation failed for RECON2 via IMSDALIB/STEPLIB.
  IQCA027I - Member RECON1 not found in IMSDALIB/STEPLIB.
  IQCA028I - Member RECON2 not found in IMSDALIB/STEPLIB.
  
  Next new messages have been added:
  IQCA053I - Allocation failed for RECON3 via IMSDALIB/STEPLIB.
  IQCA054I - Member RECON3 not found in IMSDALIB/STEPLIB.
  IQCA055E - 2 avctive RECON data sets are not available.
