PQ92825: IN THE HASH CHECKING, INVOKED FROM AN IMAGE COPY PRODUCT, REMOVE DFSORT FROM THE PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Before this APAR, DFSORT (or functional equivalent software) was
  required to invoke the full function data base HASH check option
  with IMS Image Copy Extensions Version 2 -
  (Program Number : 5655-J56) or IMS HP Image Copy Version 3 -
  (Program Number : 5655-K96).
  .
  This APAR removes DFSORT, or the functional equivalent software
  product, from the prerequisite software list.
  .
   +-- Note -----------------------------------------------+
   | This APAR is effective only for the HASH check option |
   | invoked from the image copy product.                  |
   | The DFSORT or a functionally equivalent software is   |
   | still required when HD Pointer Checker runs as a      |
   | stand alone utility (separated from the image copy    |
   | product).                                             |

  ****************************************************************
  Before this APAR, the DFSORT or functionally equivalent sort-
  and-merge product is required to use the full-function database
  HASH Check option in image copy product (ICE V2 or HPIC V3).
  This APAR removed the sort-and-merge product from the
  prerequisite software. And, the following DD statements are need
  not to be specified in the image copy JCL:
    The single-step HASH Check   : SYSOUT, SORTEX, and SORTOUT
    The multiple-step HASH Check : SYSOUT and SORTOUT
  
  ======
  Note:
   This APAR is effective only for the HASH check option
   invoked from the image copy product.
   The DFSORT or a functionally equivalent software is
   still required when HD Pointer Checker runs as a
   stand alone utility (separated from the image copy
   product).
