  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • LIU under IMS Administration Tool adds unnecessary space to the
    SSID parameter in a JCL for the Export objects function which is
    generated to decode DBD and PSB in the ACB library or IMS
    directory when IMS ID has 1-3 character name. If an error occurs
    during JCL execution, user can re-execute the JCL by deleting
    the unnecessary space in the SSID parameter.

    This APAR fixes LIU under the IMS Administration Tool not to
    generate an incorrect JCL when the export objects function of
    the IMS Administration tool is called to decode DBDs and PSBs in
    the ACB library or the IMS directory and the length of IMSID is
    less than four characters. The incorrect JCL has the SSID
    parameter with unnecessary space in the FABXATIN data set. It
    runs with error because of the unnecessary space. This APAR
    fixes LIU under the IMS Administration Tool not to add
    unnecessary space for the SSID parameter.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The following module has been changed to generate a correct JCL
    even if the length of IMSID is short:
    FABXATY1
