****************************************************************
A z/OS guest system was rejecting an HPF channel program because
an incorrect data length was specified in the channel program.
The guest system didn't think the zHPF Incorrect Length Facility
was supported on the processor because zVM was not reflecting
the support of that facility to the guest.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • CP has been modified to reflect the support of the zHPF
Incorrect Length Facility to the guest when it is supported
on the processor.
