I have enclosed the updated APAR. It says it will be fixed in a "future release". Might it be fixed in 1.11? I cannot find any more on the subject via SIS. BTW for those who might care, BMC's fix is PUT0939. TIA, Patrick Lyon APAR Identifier ......

PERVASIVE Status Detail: APARCLOSURE - APAR is being closed. PE PTF List: PTF List: Release 190 : No PTF planned Parent APAR: Child APAR list: ERROR DESCRIPTION: An IDCAMS define of a linear data set with a cisize greater than 4096 and space specified in records will not allocate the correct amount of space. The space should be calculated using the cisize times the number of records, but it is currently using a value of 4096 times the number of records. For example a 32K cisize will produce a data set with 1/8th the expected amount of space. LOCAL FIX: If possible, use tracks or cylinders when defining a linear data set with a cisize larger than than 4096. PROBLEM SUMMARY: ********************************************************** ****** * USERS AFFECTED: This problem will in fixed in future * * release with PTM K1B0501 and K1B0502. * ********************************************************** ****** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AMS currently does not support the * * DEFINE of a linear data set with CISIZE * * greater than 4K. With this apar, AMS * * will set the CISIZE as the value * * specified in the DEFINE. But when the * * CISIZE is 32K, CATALOG failed the * * allocation with RC=192 and RS=0. So to * * have a completed solution for this * * support. Catalog needs to be changed * * to check to see if the data set being * * defined is linear data set, if so, set * * the overhead required to zero as linear * * data set does not have any record * * overhead. As a results, 2 PTMs are * * open to fix this problem: * * K1B0501 (CAT) * * K1B0502 (AMS) * ********************************************************** ****** * RECOMMENDATION: * ********************************************************** ****** This apar closed FIN with 2 PTMS : K1B0501 (CAT) K1B0502 (AMS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
