Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• HPIC tries to deallocate a RECON data set that is not allocated
  dynamically.  HPIC then gets ABEND U3916 and RC=1E RSN=04380000.

  HPIC V4R1 terminates with ABEND U3916 ( ABENDU3916 ) and message
  FABJ3916E ( MSGFABJ3916E ) when all of the following conditions
  are satisfied:
  - DBRC is active.
  - The status of one of the RECON data sets is UNAVAILABLE.
  - RECON data set that status is UNAVAILABLE is defined by DFSMDA
    member.
  The cause of this problem is that HPIC tries to unallocate RECON
  data set although its dynamic allocation is failed in
  UNAVAILABLE status.
  
  This APAR also includes fixes for following problems:
  - HPIC V4R1 terminates with ABEND S0C1 ( ABEND0C1 ) when all of
    the following conditions are satisfied:
    - IMS Tools Knowledge Base for z/OS is active.
    - Dynamic allocation of RECON data set is failed.
  - HPIC V4R1 mishandles the RECON1 DD that is defined by DFSMDA
    member specified in STEPLIB.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJMAIN has been modified as follows:
  - To bypass the unallocation process of RECON data set that HPIC
    has been failed to allocate dynamically
  - To check whether the ICERPRT DD is specified DUMMY/NULLFILE or
    not.
  - To close the DCB of ICEPRINT DD and FABJSTAT DD after the ITKB
    process.
  - To handle the RECON1 DD correctly that is defined by DFSMDA
    member specified in STEPLIB.
  
  FABJDMPN has been modified as follows:
  - To bypass the unallocation process of RECON data set that HPIC
    has been failed to allocate dynamically
  - Not to allocate the RECON data sets when ICERPRT DD is not
    specified or specified DUMMY/NULLFILE.
  - To handle the RECON1 DD correctly that is defined by DFSMDA
    member specified in STEPLIB.
  
  The following modules have been reassembled.
    FABJDMP7  FABJDMP8  FABJDMP9  FABJDMPA
