PQ97434: AREA INFORMATION RECORD FIELDS: USRPFLG1 USRSEGCD USRSHLVL DO NOT CONTAIN X'00' OR H'0' AS EXPECTED, AFTER FPB UNLOAD.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Area Information Record fields USRPFLG1, USRSEGCD, and USRSHLVL
  contain x'01', x'0001' and x'0001' respectively, when they
  should contain zeros after an FPB UNLOAD run.  The Users Guide,
  Area Information Record layout shows that the fields should
  be zero.
  This is a forward fit of APAR PQ95663.
  Please note: As RELOAD doesn't use these fields, this will not
  affect the RELOAD.

Problem conclusion

• This problem occurred on the following conditions.
  
     1. Unload Multiple areas and the 1st area is empty
     2. Not REORG mode
     3. Root segment key length is longer than 9 bytes
  
  When these conditions are satisfied, garbage remained in
  Area Information Record fields USRSEGCD, USRSHLVL, and USRPSCD.
  This is because variable root segment key value field is not
  taken into consideration to clear  the USR buffer that is used
  to write the area information record.
  
  FABC1EOJ has been modified to clear the USR buffer by taking
  root segment key value field into consideration.
