PM33340: RELOAD JOB TO AN IMPROPER DATA BASE FORMAT SHOULD FAIL INSTEAD OF ENDING WITH RC=00

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An UNLOAD job had both the IMSACB and NEWACB DD's pointing
  to the same origin ACBLIB by mistake. When attempting to
  reload the database to another IMS, that job ended with a RC=00
  but the format of the data base is not correct, so the
  application cannot get to the data. The database could be opened
  and an analyzer runs fine against it, but the application
  cannot access the data. Therefore a RELOAD job to an improper
  database format should fail, instead of getting a return code
  zero.
  This is a forward fit of HPFPU V320 APAR PM23240.

  Forward Fit APAR of HPFPU V3R2 FPA PM23240.
  An unload job had both the IMSACB and NEWACB DDs pointing to
  the same origin ACBLIB by mistake. When attempting to reload
  the database to another IMS, that reload job ended with RC=00,
  but the format of the reloaded data base is not correct, because
  the IMSACB that is specified for the reload job is inconsistent
  with the NEWACB that is specified for the UNLOAD job. Then,
  the application cannot get to the data.
  

Problem conclusion

• Forward Fit APAR of HPFPU V3R2 FPA PM23240.
  This APAR enables FPA UNLOAD function to write the DBD
  information that are used for unload in the USR file, and
  enables FPA RELOAD function to check the consistency
  between the DBD information in the library that is specified
  in IMSACB DD and the DBD information in the USR files.
  This function is activated when the new keyword ACBCHK=YES is
  specified both in the unload job and the reload job.
