PK20995: BATCH JOB BUILD MAY GENERATE MESSAGE HAAB074E AND INCORRECTLY ISSUE RETURN CODE 6

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During the batch job build process, error message 'HAAB074E -
  underlying VSAM file not found' can be generated and the job can
  incorrectly issue a return code 6.  This occurs when the job
  profile
  contains an exception profile and no objects are triggered by
  the
  exception profile.
  This fix will allow the job to issue the correct return code
  (RC08 or
  RC12 depending on the 'Generate Job when errors encountered'
  option)
  even if there are no objects triggered.
