PM83583: FIX OF ISSUES WITH SYMBOLIC PARAMETERS USED TO GENERATE IMAGE COPY DSN NAME. I.E. HAAB066E INVALID SYMBOLIC PARAMETER &DAY

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR corrects the following issues with symbolic parameters
  used to generate image copy DSN name:
  
  1) When the &DAY symbolic parameter is used as the final
  qualifier, message: HAAB066E 'Invalid SYMBOLIC Parameter "&DAY"
  found -skipped' may appear if the variable is not followed by a
  period.
  
  2) Error 'HAAB066E Invalid SYMBOLIC Parameter "&PA." found -
  skipped' generated during build.
  
  3) When &UQ symbolic parameter is used, it is generated as &UNIQ
  during build.
  
  4) Building a RE image copy job causes incorrect validation on
  abbreviated variables when a subsequent non-RE image copy job is
  built with the same TSO ID.
  
  5) Unique symbolic variable short name &UC receives message
  HAAM249E.
  

Local fix

• Add a period as the final character in the DSN template
  following the &DAY variable.
