Error description

• PMR 23995-100-838: FSYSVC99 - FJCPYLB DD Statement is missing
  
  Date reported: 03/01/2018
  
  Prereqs: Apply all PTFs to date
  
  Severity: High
  
  Users Affected:
  All IMU users of IMU V4.1 for Easytrieve Plus and Easytrieve
  Classic
  
  Problem Description:
  IMU fails to allocate IMU libraries when datasets are exclu-
  sively held by another JOB. As a result, IMU translator
  abnormally terminates because IMU libraries fail to allocate.
  
  Problem Summation:
  IMU issues SVC 99 call to allocate datasets in #EZTPROC. SVC 99
  is issued with S99ERROR and S99INFO option bits off because
  these options require APF authorization.
  When S99ERROR and S99INFO option bits are off, SVC 99 returns
  without waiting on dataset if locked by another system.
  
  Problem Conclusion:
  The FSYSVC99 program was changed to wait until the locked
  dataset becomes available. The wait attempts to allocate the
  datset in 10 seconds intervals until the job is canceled by
  operator or the locked dataset becomes available.
  
  A message is issued "FSYSVC99: Waiting on DSN=&dsname" every
  two minutes.
  
  The wait statement is invoked unconditionally when the "Dataset
  in Use " condition exists (i.e., S99ERROR = X'210' (DEC(528)).
  
  Special Installation Instructions:
  1. APPLY the APAR as usual.
  
  2. Run programs as usual (linked programs need not be
     re-compiled)
  
  No changes are necessary to Easytrieve Classic source.
  
  
  Changed modules:
  FSOFT01.V4R1M0.SFSYLOAD
    FSYSVC99 - Existing Module
