PM44747: PI SCRUB FUNCTION CLEARS DATA FROM TYPE67FA RECORD INCORRECTLY

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR will address the following:
  - PM30784 added SCRUB function to PI. But it is wrong for
    TYPE67FA log records. A TYPE67FA log record is an IMS trace
    record and does not contain any user data. The SCRUB function
    in PI clears all of the trace data in the record incorrectly.
  - Scrub function of PI is not clearing user data in TYPE26
    and TYPE4026 log records. TYPE26 is EEQE IOT buffer log record
    and TYPE4026 is a CHKPT log record for IOT buffer. These
    buffers contain user data.
