Error description

  example IMSPALOG START(,10:00),STOP(,11:00), can incorrectly

  This APAR is correcting the following issues:
  1. IMS log file reporting that uses a time based interval, for
  example IMSPALOG START(,10:00),STOP(,11:00), can incorrectly
  report transactions outside of the time range.
  2. In addition, the PRINTAT STOP and EOF options are incorrectly
  described in the User's Guide as to their impact on time based
  interval reporting.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made for the above issues:
  1. Time based interval reporting is corrected to include only
  those transactions that were processed during the specified
  time interval.
  2. When the IMS log file spans more than one day, the PRINTAT
  option affects time based interval reporting in the following
  way: PRINTAT(STOP) - At the end of the specified interval,
  summary style reports are written (one report for each day),
  and list style reports are halted.
  PRINTAT(EOF) - At the end of the specified interval, summary
  style reports stop accumulating statistics, and list style
  reports are halted. At the end of the job, the summary style
  reports are written (one accumulated report for all days).
