PM06841: FPA ANALYZE SPECIFIES AN UNREASONABLE STATEMENT IN THE SORT CONTROL CARD THAT IS USED WHEN REPORT SUBCOMMAND IS SPECIFIED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• FPA ANALYZE specifies an unreasonable statement in the sort
  control card that is used when REPORT subcommand is
  specified. Thus DFSORT uses a larger sort work data set than
  what is necessary.

  ****************************************************************
  FPA ANALYZE generates the sort control card that is used when
  REPORT subcommand. FPA ANALYZE always sets "094" for the LENGTH
  keyword parameter of DFSORT. The value is valid when max segment
  level of the database is 15. But when max segment level of the
  database is less than 15, FPA ANALYZE must set the valid value
  of LENGTH. Because the value specified in LENGTH affect sort
  work data set used by DFSORT.
  

Problem conclusion

• FPA ANALYZE is modified to specify the valid value LENGTH
  keyword parameter of DFSORT control card.

  The IMS High Performance Fast Path Utilities for z/OS User's
  Guide Version 3 Release 2 (SC18-9869-04).
  
  The following change is made to these topics:
  2.4.4 DD statements for Reload process
  2.5.4 DD statements for Change process
  2.6.4 DD statements for Reorg process
  2.7.4 DD statements for Analyze process
  
  The description of itttWKnn DD when REPORT subcommand is
  specified is changed as follows:
    REPORT subcommand and PTRCHKLVL=FULL are specified
      X x (number of non-SDEP segments in the areas + number of
      free space element in the areas + number of references to
      other CIs)
        if LARGEREC_REPORT=NO is specified
        X: (34 + (MAX Segment Level x 4)) or 48, whichever is
        greater
        if LARGEREC_REPORT=YES is specified
        X: (34 + (MAX Segment Level x 4) + root key length) or 48,
        whichever is greater
    REPORT subcommand and PTRCHKLVL=QUICK are specified
      23 x (number of free space element in the area + number of
      references to other CIs)
