    This APAR for z/VM 7.4 Fix Pack 0007 contains fixes
    for the following problem(s):
    
    Problem 1:
    UNABLE TO DETACH CPOWNED VOLUME MARKED SHARED
    
    A customer was unable to detach a shared volume. It was
    found that within the detach processing code, CPOWNED CSE
    XLINK volumes with extents were being incorrectly
    identified as cross-system spool, therefore hitting an
    exit condition. Since cross-system spool is no longer a
    supported feature, the code should branch to detach
    processing instead.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Problem 1:
    UNABLE TO DETACH CPOWNED VOLUME MARKED SHARED
    
    The problem was fixed by correcting detach code.
    Users with XLINK CSE volumes should no longer encounter
    this issue and should be able to detach normally.
