PM95462: NEAR TERM HISTORY SEQUENTIAL FILE NOT FREED WHEN NTH IS STOPPED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Near Term History sequential file not freed when NTH is stopped
  
  Near term history (NTH) data can be recorded to a sequential
  file when WRITEOPTION has the SEQ option specified.
  The sequential file should be closed and deallocated when
  NTH is stopped. The sequential file remains allocated even
  though it is closed when NTH is stopped.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unable to access SEQ file after the     *
  *                      NTH collector is stopped by command.    *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this PTF                               *
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  If the NTH collector is configured to use
  WRITEOPTION(VSAM,SEQ) and the NTH collector is stopped by
  operator command, the sequential file should be de-allocated.
  
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  Add explicit de-allocation for any SEQ file which is still
  allocated after use.
