PM91996: MSGALZ0111E PROCESSING IMS LOG THAT CONTAIN TYPE X'6701' RECORDS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error message ALZ0111E received when processing IMS logs that
  contain type6701 records.  Certain type x'6701' records in the
  log are split into two or more physical records.  IMSPI
  reconstructs and displays the complete record so it can be
  viewed in total. There is a problem with the IMSPI I/O routine
  where it loses positioning as it attempts to reconstruct the
  record. This causes MSGALZ0111E with REAS=3.
  
  Additonal issue addressed: ABEND0C1 ALZBRMIO x'13CA'
  on CLHHSI instruction which is not available without the
  OS general instructions-extension facility. ABENDS0C1 S0C1

  Certain type x'6701' records in the IMS log
  are split into two or more physical log records.
  IMSPI reconstructs and displays the complete
  record so it can be viewed in total.
  There is a problem with the IMSPI I/O routine
  where it loses positioning as it attempts to
  reconstruct the record.
  This causes MSGALZ0111E with REAS=3.
  

Problem conclusion

• IMSPI is corrected to retain log positioning during type x'6701'
  record reconstruction.
