PQ06089: FTP GET RESULTS IN '550 ALLOCATION OF <DATASET> FAILED WHILE EXECUTING RETR COMMAND' INVALIDLY.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using the C FTP server ( EZAFTSRV ) performing a GET of
  a dataset that is not in use, results in:
  '550 ALLOCATION OF <dataset> FAILED WHILE EXECUTING RETR
  COMMAND' .
  To clear this up, you must recycle the FTP address space.
  To recreate the problem - you must attempt to retrieve a
  dataset that is already in use. You will get the expected
  '550 allocation failed' message, however, upon further attempts
  to retrieve this dataset, even when the dataset is no longer
  in use, you will still get the '550 allocation failed'
  message. The only way to clear this problem up is to
  recycle the FTP SERVER.

Problem conclusion

• The code erroneously checked to see if the allocation failed
  and the type of request was to store the data (put, appe).
  The code now tests just for the case where the dataset
  could not be allocated and now correctly removes the dataset
  from the CFTP DSNT.
