Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users who use HPFPU DEDB Unloaded        *
  *                 Segment Data Set Retrieve utility (FABCUR7)  *
  *                 in Fast Path Solution Pack Version 1         *
  *                 Release 1 (FMID: HAHQ110).                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. Remove the checking of the number of *
  *                         application interface parameter(s)   *
  *                         in FABCUR7.                          *
  *                      2. Support the multiple "INIT(INID)...  *
  *                         EOF" calls for FABCUR7.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  This APAR addresses the following enhancements:
  1. FABCUR7 ignores the extra parameter(s) in the interface
     parameter list.
  2. FABCUR7 allows multiple "INIT(INID)-GET(GET1/GET2)-EOF"
     calls, which means that FABCUR7 continues to process if
     INIT (INID) call is issued after the EOF call.
  
  This enhancement is being implemented as a result of FITS
  requirement MR0910125534.
