PM81159: UPON SELECT WITH STARTTIME AND ENDTIME UTILIZATION, QCF IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE SECONDS INCREMENTS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With function REPROCESS using SELECT with STARTTIME and
  ENDTIME, QCF is only using the HH:MM:SS piece of the time and
  is not recognizing the incremental seconds as shown here:
  T=07:59:58.999999  <----- in this case the 999999 portion
  This only happens when the checkpoint date/time is in local
  time.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of QCF, which use queue rebuilding *
  *                 procedures with SELECT STARTTIME/ENDTIME     *
  *                 parameters.                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If CHKPT in local time is used,         *
  *                      the selection by STARTTIME and ENDTIME  *
  *                      is done up to the seconds, ignoring the *
  *                      last 6 numbers of time:                 *
  *                      CHKPT    0                              *
  *                      CHKPT    D=2013.008,T=08:57:51          *
  *                      will ignore the parts of the seconds    *
  *                      in the time representation of SELECT    *
  *                      STARTTIME/ENDTIME statement.            *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

  Programs have been changed to do the right selection.
  Current status: works wrong with local time in the checkpoint.
  CHKPT    0   /or/
  CHKPT    D=2013.008,T=08:57:51  -----> in local time
  FUNCTION REPROCESS
  SELECT   STARTTIME=D=2013.008,T=07:59:58.123456,Z=+01:00,
           ENDTIME=D=2013.008,T=07:59:59.789101,Z=+01:00
  finds the checkpoint and uses the selection up
  to the seconds. Will ignore .123456 and .789101 in T= parms.
  
  Current status: works cotrrect with full format timestamp
  in the checkpoint statement and does the right selection.
  CHKPT    D=2013.008,T=07:57:51.838399,Z=+01:00
  FUNCTION REPROCESS
  SELECT   STARTTIME=D=2013.008,T=07:59:58.123456,Z=+01:00,
           ENDTIME=D=2013.008,T=07:59:59.789101,Z=+01:00
  The results will be different with these 2 sets of prameters.
  Fix
  The programs are fixt to the the right selection with all
  checkpoints formats.
