Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• BSYI200E- DBRC-API GENJCL.USER  service failed
  due to invalid characters in the command buffer for the DBRC API
  when IRE called the DBRC API to generate recovery JCL.
  This occurred because the length of a PDS directory entry size
  was bigger than usual.  ISPF editor sets user data for
  statistics and the length is usually 30 bytes (42 bytes if
  extended statistics is used).  In this case, the length of the
  directory entry user data is 46.
