PK17613: ASMA254I *** MNOTE *** 8, DBD160 WHEN PSNAME PARAMETER IS INSIDEPARENTHESIS.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ASMA254I *** MNOTE *** 8, DBD160 when PSNAME parameter is inside
  parenthesis. Data Dictionary produces a DBD with parameters
  which match "IMS System Utilities" manual examples. It has been
  determined that the "IMS System Utilities" manual example for
  the DBD parameter PSNAME is incorrect. It is shown as
  "PSNAME=(psname)"  it should be shown as PSNAME=psname, no
  parenthesis. A Reader's Comment Form has been submitted to
  correct the manual. This APAR will correct Data Dictionary.
  

Local fix

• Remove the parenthesis around the psname generated by Data
  Dictionary.

  "** ASMA254I *** MNOTE *** 8, DBD160 - PSNAME OPERAND IS
  INVALID " IS RECEIVED IN A DBDGEN OF A HALDB DBD SOURCE
  GENERATED BY DATA DICTIONARY.
  THE ERROR IS RECEIVED BECAUSE THE DBD_OUT SOURCE ENCLOSES THE
  PSNAME VALUE IN PARENTHESES. THIS IS INVALID SYNTAX. THE PSNAME
  SHOULD BE WRITTEN WITHOUT PARENTHESES, I.E., PSNAME=MYPSNAME.
  

Problem conclusion

• DBD_OUT MODULE DBDEDBD0 HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO REMOVE THE INVALID
  PARENTHESES AROUND THE PSNAME VALUE.
  

Temporary fix
