Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: DirMaint users attempting replace a user * * directory entry with an abbreviated IPL * * directory statement. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF * **************************************************************** With DirMaint APAR VM65926 (PTF: UV61388) applied, issuing a DirMaint DIRM REPLACE command for a directory entry that contains the abbreviation for the IPL directory statement (For example: I CMS or I ZCMS), causes the REPLACE to fail with RC = 20041 and the following message is displayed: DVHRXV3303E Unable to locate the specified entry ZCMS in the directory. The user directory entry is not updated/replaced. Due to an error in DirMaint REPLACE processing, the abbreviated IPL statement is interpreted as an INCLUDE directory statement. DirMaint then looks for a PROFILE with the name following the IPL statement (CMS or ZCMS) and emits the error message above.
Problem conclusion
The DVHREP EXEC has been updated to correctly interpret the abbreviation for the INclude directory statement. This will allow the abbreviated form of the Ipl directory statement to be handled correctly during DirMaint replace processing.
