  * USERS AFFECTED: ALL DATABASE CONTROL SUITE R310 USERS.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: THE RUN JOBS FUNCTION FAILS TO DISPLAY  *
  *                      THE IDL$JBLS PANEL WITH THE LIST OF     *
  *                      JOBNAMES AVAILABLE TO THE SELECTED      *
  *                      DBDSGRP. INSTEAD, THE FUNCTION ENDS     *
  *                      AND RETURNS TO IDLP001, THE RUN JOBS    *
  *                      SELECTION PANEL.                        *

  * RECOMMENDATION: INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF      *
  ****************************************************************
  JOBLISTS AVAILABLE TO DBDSGRPS ARE CONTAINED IN THE IDLTABLE.
  THE MEMBER NAMES ARE CREATED USING THE DBDSGRP PREFX AND A
  SUFFIX TO DELINEATE JOBTYPE. THESE MEMBER LISTS ARE CREATED
  DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE COLLECT PROCESS - UPDATE DATABASE
  DATA SET DATA. THE PREFX, HOWEVER, IS SET DURING THE FIRST PART
  OF THE COLLECT PROCESS - UPDATE/DELETE DBDSGRPS AND IC NAMING.
  IF A USER CHANGED THE PREFX NAME AND DID NOT RERUN THE SECOND
  HALF OF THE COLLECT PROCESS, NEW JOBLIST MEMBERS USING THE
  NEW PREFX WERE NOT CREATED. THE OLD JOBLIST MEMBERS REMAINED.
  THE RUN JOBS FUNCTION FAILED BECAUSE IT COULD NOT FIND JOBLISTS
  NAMED WITH THE NEW PREFX.
  ISPF COLLECTED DBDSGRPS ALSO USE A JOBCARD TABLE MEMBER WITH A
  NAME CONTAINING THE PREFX. JOBCARD DATA HAD TO BE REENTERED IF
  THE PREFX WAS CHANGED.
  

Problem conclusion

• THE FIRST PART OF THE COLLECT PROCESS HAS BEEN MODIFIED.
  IF A DBDSGRP PREFX IS CHANGED AFTER A FULL COLLECTION HAS BEEN
  SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED, OLD JOBLIST MEMBERS WILL BE DELETED AND
  NEW ONES CREATED. FOR ISPF COLLECTED DBDSGRPS, THE OLD JOBCARD
  MEMBER WILL BE DELETED AND THE CONTENTS COPIED TO A NEW JOBCARD
  MEMBER. THE INITIAL JOBLIST AND JOBCARD CREATION IS STILL
  PERFORMED IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE COLLECT PROCESS.
  ****************************************************************
  ADDITIONAL ERROR CORRECTION MADE.
  1.) HALDB SINGLE PARTITION REORG JOBSTREAM ERROR CORRECTED.
