PK88266: UPDATE LAST_USED COLUMN ONLY WHEN QMF RUN, SAVE, OR IMPORT COMMAND IS ISSUED.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• The QMF Q.OBJECT_DIRECTORY LAST_USED column is updated
  when executing the DISPLAY, RUN, CONVERT, EXPORT, IMPORT, SAVE
  commands upon a QMF object (PROC, QUERY or FORM). Some users
  prefer to have the LAST_USED column updated *ONLY* when a QMF
  object is RUN, SAVEd or IMPORTed. This APAR will add that
  capability.

  This APAR will enhance QMF to update the Q.OBJECT_DIRECTORY
  LAST_USED column for QUERIES, PROCS and FORMS that are used
  through the RUN, SAVE and IMPORT commands only.  The enhancement
  will be in effect when the new global variable, DSQEC_LAST_RUN
  is set to the value of '1'. The default for this new global
  variable will be '0'. The default behaviour will be for QMF to
  function as it does prior to this APAR, and update the
  Q.OBJECT_DIRECTORY LAST_USED column for any QMF object involved
  in any QMF command.  The QMF installation options module,
  DSQUOPTS, is also updated to allow for the LAST_USED global
  variable to be updated through the options module as the global
  variables DSQEC_SHARE and DSQEC_DISABLEADM are.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• Users who are currently running with a customized DSQUOPTS
  module that do not wish to use the new feature do not need to
  reassemble the module at the new level. QMF will tolerate the
  downlevel module.
