APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The following error is received when dynamically
  allocating a non-sms VSAM file and PRIM_ORG is specified in
  ALLOCxx.
  
  IGD17103I CATALOG ERROR WHILE DEFINING VSAM DATA SET
  IBM.TEST.VSAM
  RETURN CODE IS 136 REASON CODE IS 16 IGG0CLEM
  
  SMS is failing to create an space parameter list (FPL) in the
  Catalog Parameter List therefore Catalog does not find any
  space parameters and returns rc 136 rsn 16.  A DACRE is passed
  in the CPL extension in this client's case.
  

Local fix

• Remove PRIM_ORG from ALLOCxx

  IGD17103I 136-16, NO SPACE SPECIFIED, WAS ISSUED FOR DYNAMICALLY
  ALLOCATED NON-MANAGED VSAM WHEN THE DEFAULT SPACE VALUES IN
  CYLINDERS AND PRIM_ORG(ALX) WERE USED.  JFCBCTRI CONTAINS X'C2'.
  IGDVTSCR INCORRECTLY COMPARES IT WITH X'C0' AND SETS THE SPACE
  UNIT TO ZERO.  IGDVTSCT BYPASSES BUILDING THE SPACE FPL WHEN THE
  SPACE UNIT IS ZERO.
