APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When a non-VSAM extended-format version 1 data set is encrypted
    using zDMF regular (non-logical copy) processing, the resulting
    data set may have I/O errors on second and subsequent volumes.
    Encryption requires extended format version 2.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users performing ENCRYPT on datasets that    *
    *                 are already in extended format version 1,    *
    *                 and span multiple volumes.                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Affected datasets will experience I/O   *
    *                      errors when an attempt is made to read  *
    *                      the file past the first volume.         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF when available.       *
    ****************************************************************
    Extended format datasets have an MMSX appended to each block of
    the dataset.  The MMSX contains a field that contains the
    relative block number, and this is calculated differently in V2
    than in V1.  Encryption requires V2, so the encryption logic
    must convert V1 to V2 during its processing.  This wasn't being
    done correctly.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The encryption processing has been changed to correctly update
    the MMSX RCIN field.
