DY46608 2006/07/21 HIPER	UD53093-81C	Fixes PE UD53000 & UD53011. VSE/POWER terminates abnormally during job processing with 1Q2CI in Job exec. task when GOTO handles * SLI
DY46595 2006/07/06	UD53081-81C	When displaying the CRE queue, duplicate entries may be shown. PDISPLAY Q takes to much time to show extended queue information. PDISPLAYqueue,TAPE=cuu,OUT=CON shows header line for each entry.
DY46519 2006/06/27	UD53028-81C	When exactly 128 KST/PUN output segments are created, then the last segment gets a new job number but wrong suffix number 0.
DY46528 2006/01/31	UD53011-81C UD53010-81G LEVELSET	* DO NOT INSTALL (PE) * Please install DY46608. When VSE/POWER's own 'TI00' Timer Exit routine is disabled by a user exit coded 'SETIME r1,r2' with ECB, or by replacement with OEM own Timer Exit routine, then the Time Event scheduling functions will come to a halt. VSE/POWER Networking entries that are transmitted via RSCS or AIX nodes will produce a "transmission acceptance" message even though the entries did not specify the NTFY= operand. A compile error occurred for the module IPW$$MM due to an error in the message 1QE7I.
DY46526 2006/01/30	UD53003-81C	When more than 10 CICS systems run in parallel, VSE/POWER is unable to handle 11th request for a NOTIFY connection. The request is accepted but only 10 slots for NOTIFY connections are available. The 11th connection stays in a state which does not received notifications nor can disconnect. Therefore a restart of this CICS will find remains when connected again and DFHRC5301 DBDCCICS FAILED TO INITIALIZE POWER INTERFACE is issued
DY46521 2006/01/12	UD53000-81C	* DO NOT INSTALL (PE) * Please install DY46608. For PALTER LST,H,USER=Rnnn with more than 500 entries in disp. or non disp. chain, command processor loops on writing to queue file - while DMB is unlocked periodically (fortunately). If data is included via * $$ SLI and * $$ DATA statements and a /$SLI statement is used to end data to be included, results are unpredictable. If in a $$ LST/PUN statement the PRI= operand is specified without a value, the priority value for the created queue entries shows up as a blank or ','. Trace message 1RT2I ends sometimes with (ACT)NT) wherey the 'NT)' are meaningless.
DY46500 2005/11/29	UD52974-81C	When the VSE/AF LOCK macro fails for the VSE/POWER external lock IJQFILE, the IDUMP accompanying 1QB5I RC=rr01 does not contain the 31-bit Getvis area with the Lock Manager Table, that should be compared against the 'Lock Manager Error Data' on console to analyze the cause of failure.
DY46472 2005/10/17 HIPER	UD52933-81C	At data file extension during warm start msg 1QD2I appears for existing d-file extent but then VSE/POWER branches to lowcore 000000 and is cancelled with msg 1Q2CI PSW ..000002 and with IDUMP of VSE/POWER partition.
DY46462 2005/10/11	UD52927-81C UD52928-81G LEVELSET	When during profile processing of dyn. part. 'Xn' the partition is cancelled by operator, then 1Q6FA RC=0002 is issued and class 'X' is disabled for job selection. For CRE-queue browsing and Restart to Active the q-rec field QRC2 is used at length of 16 bytes, but cleared in implicite QRC2 length of 32 bytes.
DY46443 2005/08/30	UD52911-81C	During PNET SNA node termination, when all RCV/TSM tasks have terminated, a new RCV task may be created whilst PWR DISCONNECT task is processing, leading to 1QZ0I RC=0031 dump due to later check of task chain, whether any task still exists for terminating NCB.
DY46427 2005/08/15	UD52899-81C UD52900-81C	When data is received from JES2 (or RSCS) via a SNA link, ending blanks may be lost. When BTRNC=NO has been specified in the PSTART PNET,node command and the hardcopy file wraps around, no information is available whether it has been specified or not. Operating systems other than z/VSE do not support multihoming (as done by z/VSE offering the IPEXTRAD parameter in the PNODE macro) for TCP links. Connections can not be established, message 1RT5I is issued.
DY46423 2005/08/12	UD52894-81C	Palter command has to commit the changes to q-file on disk. When bulk alteration is requested, this may take seconds while DMB is locked - disallowing tasks to gain control that need the DMB resource. The Dsect MAPPOWJB for GETFLD FIELD=POWJOB provides Jobname and Jobnumber of the active VSE/POWER job, but the Jobclass is missing. When m/d/y pattern has been changed during VSE/POWER warm start (e.g. during FSU), CRDATE= specifications are interpreted in the current e.g. d/m/y pattern . Hence entries created before the warm start can not be manipulated by CRDATE= to isolate them. The SORT=NEW/OLD display presents display lines in standard format. The sort criteria 'creation date + time' are hidden in the 2nd/3rd line of a FULL=YES display (see D=... and T=....).
DY46406 2005/07/12	UD52871-81C UD52872-81G	When FSU from VSE/ESA 2.7.0 or 2.7.1 or 2.7.2 is started and one VSE/POWER data file extent does not start on Cylinder Boundary (Data file on CKD), the warm start of the VSE/POWER queues fails on z/VSE 3.1 with msg 1Q19I INVALID DATA FILE EXTENT, RC=0003 . VSE/POWER is terminated and FSU can not continue.
DY46390 2005/07/04	UD52867-81C UD52866-81G	PNET usage: The JES copy count, for example COPIES=(164,(24,...,17)) of 164 in NDHGDSCT is destroyed when sending 3800 output through an intermediate VSE/POWER PNET node (replaced by number of copy groups). Job/output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes are transmitted with trailing blanks but these are removed forever when data is spooled by VSE/POWER as final or intermediate node. If job/output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes contain trailing blanks and are forwarded to another JES, RSCS, the record length is different from the original record length. If output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes consist of various parts with different record lengths and are forwarded to another JES, RSCS, the record lengths are different form the original record lengths. The VM/CMS user of the VSECMD command does not receive a VSE/POWER response message for the PACCOUNT command. PDISPLAY command: The PDISPLAY ..,LIMIT=NN value allows only a maximum of 99, especially for PDISPLAY BIGGEST. This is too little for big queues. The PDISPLAY RDR/LST/PUN/XMT cmd presents q-entries sorted by class but not by creation-date, i.e. not by 'age' of the entries. VSE/POWER recovery startup may fail 1Q2CI CC=21, ILLEGAL SVC, PHASE=IPW$$NU, TASK='P PS', even more in VSE/POWER shared environment.
DY46399 2005/06/17	UD52852-81C	When PNET receiver task stalls due to 1Q38A NO DASD AVAILABLE, then the PDRAIN command is not effective, but receiver remains in wait-for-Data-File-DBLK. When SAS-PUT-Job/Out task stalls due to 1Q38A NO DASD AVAILABLE, then the PSTOP SAS command is not effective, but SAS-PUT task remains in wait-for-Data-File-DBLK.
DY46395 2005/06/15 HIPER	UD52849-81C	After queue file recovery VSE/POWER terminates with Msg1Q2CI: F1 0001 1QB8I QUEUE FILE RECOVERY COMPLETED F1 0001 1Q20I AUTOSTART IN PROGRESS F1 0001 1Q2CI PSW=070D1000003B5CFA ILC=1, CC=21 ILLEGAL SVC PHASE=IPW$$NU (003B5000,DY46224) TASK=O CP, (0060B200)
DY46381 2005/06/07	UD52841-81C	The PCANCEL command specifying a specific job (jobname and optionally jobnumber) for jobs not protected by a password and not issued by a system administrator can cancel any job.
DY46367 2005/05/14	UD52834-81C UD52835-81G	A DISP=I created job gets the default job execution disposition of 'D'. Whenever such job fails and cancels, the job is deleted from the reader queue and it can no longer be viewed to verify its correctness.
DY46361 2005/05/13	UD52831-81C	When SIGNON record of other PNET node must be rejected by 1RB2I RC=1/5, the invalid other node name is not displayed.
DY46331 2005/03/24	UD52803-81C	VSE/POWER may terminate with message 1Q2CI CC=20 in task 'I IT' in module IPW$$NU at offset x'CA0' due to misused TCB.
DY46254 2005/03/23	UD52707-81C UD52708-81G	Unprintable characters in HDR1-part of message 1QB9A may abend VSE/POWER with message 1Q2CI with SEGM. TRANSL. EXCEPTION in phase IPW$$MX. The error handling of PNET SSL for the GSKSSOCINIT call will ignore an I/O error (RC=-00000010 or the equate FRCN0010). Also an ERRNO=00001102 (EWOULDBLOCK) handling leads to an IDUMP in the cases of GSKSSOCREAD GSKSSOCWRITE GSKSSOCCLOSE GSKSSOCRESET PACCOUNT PUN creates IDUMP indicated by msg 1Q2JI in IPW$$02 when data file is full and no DBLKGPs are available.
DY46246 2005/03/22	UD52695-81C	1. When all DBLKGP cushion elements are used and FREE DBLK GROUP count is 0, the next request for a queue display via Spool Access Support, e.g. by IUI, fails with 1QZ0I RC=0025 in module IPW$$DQ. 2. FULL queue display does not show creation time.
DY46248 2005/03/21	UD52696-81C UD52697-81G	DUETIME operand does not support to calculate a runtime dependant on time when job entered system. The record count of a list output received from a JES2/3 is different than the record count displayed by JES2/3.
DY46323 2005/03/17	UD52784-81C	Any other VSE/POWER subtask than Async. Service Subtask (-AS), namely DS/LS/SD/SN/S1/TD/TI should take IDUMP when being cancelled under all circumstances - Cancel Code '09' (LIOCS) should not make an exception. When long running CICS/VTAM/TCP-IP jobs with DISP=D/K are replaced by new version, the old job in DISP=* cannot be PALTER'ed to DISP=D so that it vanishes at system shutdown and allows the new version to be released at system startup. Instead the old version is released once more then.
DY46322 2005/03/03	UD52780-81C UD52781-81G	Destroyed VSE/POWER class anchors or chain pointers to the free-q-rec chain result in display of quasi empty 'free' queue records, which may be many. When being used to 'number-of-spooled-pages' for LST queue entries and altering them to the XMT queue, then no more pages but LINES are presented, what may be confusing. 1)When remote node sends FCS bytes not equal to X'8FCF', a loop of IDUMP macro-calls and message 1RTLI may occur. 2) When remote node sends incorrect BSC frames, the connection hangs and message 1RC1I is issued.

Unsupported release: VSE/POWER 6.7 APARs for VSE/ESA V2.7

Last update: February 28, 2007

APAR Date	PTF	Contents
DY46657 2007/02/26	UD53115 - 75C	PSTOP cuu,FORCE fails to stop printer . LST task waits forever on bad ECB address or VSE/POWER terminates with 1Q2CI SEGMENT TRANSLATION.
DY46615 2006/12/14	UD53088 - 75C	Continued JECL statements were retrieved via the * $$ SLI statement and one of the continuation card was deleted after having previously caused a syntax error.
DY46607 2006/12/06	UD53079 - 75C UD53078 - 75G LEVELSET	Attempt to delete JECL continuation statement in SLI-member (by using sequence number) results garbage on the screen (1R33D message), or 1Q2CI Segment translation exception and POWER ABEND followed by dump creation. Specification of 'RBM=n' operand in the '* $$ PUN' statement can result 1QZ0I (RC=0045) error message which follows dump creation.
DY46598 2006/11/28	UD53067 - 75C	PDISPLAY A may fail with 1Q2CI or show garbage for POFFLOAD BACKUP/SAVE/PICKUP.
DY46552 2006/07/21 HIPER	UD53039 - 75C	Fixes PE UD52999 & UD53007. VSE/POWER terminates abnormally during job processing with 1Q2CI in Job exec. task when GOTO handles * SLI
DY46540 2006/06/28	UD53029 - 75C	When exactly 128 KST/PUN output segments are created, then the last segment gets a new job number but wrong suffix number 0.
DY46581 2006/06/16	UD53077 - 75C	When displaying the CRE queue, duplicate entries may be shown. PDISPLAY Q takes to much time to show extended queue information. PDISPLAYqueue,TAPE=cuu,OUT=CON shows header line for each entry.
DY46512 2006/01/30	UD53007 - 75C UD53006 - 75G LEVELSET	* DO NOT INSTALL (PE) * Please install DY46552. When VSE/POWER's own 'TI00' Timer Exit routine is disabled by a user exit coded 'SETIME r1,r2' with ECB, or by replacement with OEM own Timer Exit routine, then the Time Event scheduling functions will come to a halt. VSE/POWER Networking entries that are transmitted via RSCS or AIX nodes will produce a "transmission acceptance" message even though the entries did not specify the NTFY= operand. A compile error occurred for the module IPW$$MM due to an error in the message 1QE7I.
DY46457 2006/01/30	UD52917 - 75C	When more than 10 CICS systems run in parallel, VSE/POWER is unable to handle 11th request for a NOTIFY connection. The request is accepted but only 10 slots for NOTIFY connections are available. The 11th connection stays in a state which does not received notifications nor can disconnect. Therefore a restart of this CICS will find remains when connected again and DFHRC5301 DBDCCICS FAILED TO INITIALIZE POWER INTERFACE is issued
DY46520 2006/01/11	UD52999 - 75C	* DO NOT INSTALL (PE) * Please install DY46552. For PALTER LST,H,USER=Rnnn with more than 500 entries in disp. or non disp. chain, command processor loops on writing to queue file - while DMB is unlocked periodically (fortunately). If data is included via * $$ SLI and * $$ DATA statements and a /$SLI statement is used to end data to be included, results are unpredictable. If in a $$ LST/PUN statement the PRI= operand is specified without a value, the priority value for the created queue entries shows up as a blank or ','. Trace message 1RT2I ends sometimes with (ACT)NT) wherey the 'NT)' are meaningless.
DY46499 2005/11/28	UD52973 - 75C	When the VSE/AF LOCK macro fails for the VSE/POWER external lock IJQFILE, the IDUMP accompanying 1QB5I RC=rr01 does not contain the 31-bit Getvis area with the Lock Manager Table, that should be compared against the 'Lock Manager Error Data' on console to analyze the cause of failure.
DY46473 2005/10/18 HIPER	UD52934 - 75C	At data file extension during warm start msg 1QD2I appears for existing d-file extent but then VSE/POWER branches to lowcore 000000 and is cancelled with msg 1Q2CI PSW ..000002 and with IDUMP of VSE/POWER partition.
DY46450 2005/10/07	UD52923 - 75C UD52924 - 75G LEVELSET	When during profile processing of dyn. part. 'Xn' the partition is cancelled by operator, then 1Q6FA RC=0002 is issued and class 'X' is disabled for job selection. For CRE-queue browsing and Restart to Active the q-rec field QRC2 is used at length of 16 bytes, but cleared in implicite QRC2 length of 32 bytes.
DY46343 2005/08/30	UD52822 - 75C	During PNET SNA node termination, when all RCV/TSM tasks have terminated, a new RCV task may be created whilst PWR DISCONNECT task is processing, leading to 1QZ0I RC=0031 dump due to later check of task chain, whether any task still exists for terminating NCB.
DY46418 2005/08/15	UD52895 - 75C UD52896 - 75C	When data is received from JES2 (or RSCS) via a SNA link, ending blanks may be lost. When BTRNC=NO has been specified in the PSTART PNET,node command and the hardcopy file wraps around, no information is available whether it has been specified or not. Operating systems other than z/VSE do not support multihoming (as done by z/VSE offering the IPEXTRAD parameter in the PNODE macro) for TCP links. Connections can not be established, message 1RT5I is issued.
DY46422 2005/08/11	UD52889 - 75C	Palter command has to commit the changes to q-file on disk. When bulk alteration is requested, this may take seconds while DMB is locked - disallowing tasks to gain control that need the DMB resource. The Dsect MAPPOWJB for GETFLD FIELD=POWJOB provides Jobname and Jobnumber of the active VSE/POWER job, but the Jobclass is missing. When m/d/y pattern has been changed during VSE/POWER warm start (e.g. during FSU), CRDATE= specifications are interpreted in the current e.g. d/m/y pattern . Hence entries created before the warm start can not be manipulated by CRDATE= to isolate them. The SORT=NEW/OLD display presents display lines in standard format. The sort criteria 'creation date + time' are hidden in the 2nd/3rd line of a FULL=YES display (see D=... and T=....).
DY46375 2005/06/30	UD52859 - 75C UD52858 - 75G	PNET usage: The JES copy count, for example COPIES=(164,(24,...,17)) of 164 in NDHGDSCT is destroyed when sending 3800 output through an intermediate VSE/POWER PNET node (replaced by number of copy groups). Job/output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes are transmitted with trailing blanks but these are removed forever when data is spooled by VSE/POWER as final or intermediate node. If job/output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes contain trailing blanks and are forwarded to another JES, RSCS, the record length is different from the original record length. If output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes consist of various parts with different record lengths and are forwarded to another JES, RSCS, the record lengths are different form the original record lengths. The VM/CMS user of the VSECMD command does not receive a VSE/POWER response message for the PACCOUNT command. PDISPLAY command: The PDISPLAY ..,LIMIT=NN value allows only a maximum of 99, especially for PDISPLAY BIGGEST. This is too little for big queues. The PDISPLAY RDR/LST/PUN/XMT cmd presents q-entries sorted by class but not by creation-date, i.e. not by 'age' of the entries. VSE/POWER recovery startup may fail 1Q2CI CC=21, ILLEGAL SVC, PHASE=IPW$$NU, TASK='P PS', even more in VSE/POWER shared environment.
DY46397 2005/06/17	UD52850 - 75C	When PNET receiver task stalls due to 1Q38A NO DASD AVAILABLE, then the PDRAIN command is not effective, but receiver remains in wait-for-Data-File-DBLK. When SAS-PUT-Job/Out task stalls due to 1Q38A NO DASD AVAILABLE, then the PSTOP SAS command is not effective, but SAS-PUT task remains in wait-for-Data-File-DBLK.
DY46394 2005/06/15 HIPER	UD52848 - 75C	After queue file recovery VSE/POWER terminates with Msg1Q2CI: F1 0001 1QB8I QUEUE FILE RECOVERY COMPLETED F1 0001 1Q20I AUTOSTART IN PROGRESS F1 0001 1Q2CI PSW=070D1000003B5CFA ILC=1, CC=21 ILLEGAL SVC PHASE=IPW$$NU (003B5000,DY46224) TASK=O CP, (0060B200)
DY46376 2005/06/02	UD52839 - 75C	The PCANCEL command specifying a specific job (jobname and optionally jobnumber) for jobs not protected by a password and not issued by a system administrator can cancel any job.
DY46366 2005/05/10	UD52829 - 75C UD52830 - 75G	A DISP=I created job gets the default job execution disposition of 'D'. Whenever such job fails and cancels, the job is deleted from the reader queue and it can no longer be viewed to verify its correctness.
DY46357 2005/04/26	UD52820 - 75C	When SIGNON record of other PNET node must be rejected by 1RB2I RC=1/5, the invalid other node name is not displayed.
DY46251 2005/03/23	UD52699 - 75C UD52700 - 75G LEVELSET	Unprintable characters in HDR1-part of message 1QB9A may abend VSE/POWER with message 1Q2CI with SEGM. TRANSL. EXCEPTION in phase IPW$$MX. The error handling of PNET SSL for the GSKSSOCINIT call will ignore an I/O error (RC=-00000010 or the equate FRCN0010). Also an ERRNO=00001102 (EWOULDBLOCK) handling leads to an IDUMP in the cases of GSKSSOCREAD GSKSSOCWRITE GSKSSOCCLOSE GSKSSOCRESET PACCOUNT PUN creates IDUMP indicated by msg 1Q2JI in IPW$$02 when data file is full and no DBLKGPs are available.
DY46345 2005/03/21	UD52793 - 75C UD52794 - 75G	DUETIME operand does not support to calculate a runtime dependant on time when job entered system. The record count of a list output received from a JES2/3 is different than the record count displayed by JES2/3.
DY46244 2005/03/21	UD52684 - 75C	1. When all DBLKGP cushion elements are used and FREE DBLK GROUP count is 0, the next request for a queue display via Spool Access Support, e.g. by IUI, fails with 1QZ0I RC=0025 in module IPW$$DQ. 2. FULL queue display does not show creation time.
DY46330 2005/03/02	UD52779 - 75C	VSE/POWER may terminate with message 1Q2CI CC=20 in task 'I IT' in module IPW$$NU at offset x'CA0' due to misused TCB.
DY46218 2005/02/25	DOC	When FSU from VSE/ESA 2.7 to z/VSE 3.1 fails, VSE/POWER restarting on VSE/ESA 2.7 rejects already migrated queue & data file with message 1Q04I with RC=0001
DY46205 2005/01/15	UD52654 UD52653	POFFLOAD SELECT for labelled tape will bring msg 1Q77I RC=000c if it searches beyond the first tape tape volume and a continued queue entry at the end of a searched volume is not eligible for selection. For dynamic partitions a default * $$ LST/PUN output class cannot be selected as with static partitions, namely (A-Z or 0-9). Instead the dynamic part. default is 'A' or the execution class itself, provided the SET DYNOUTCL=DYNCL stmt. is active. POFFLOAD LOAD/SELECT transports RDR entries of other nodes back to the own RDR queue, but when executed, their output may end up in the XMT queue instead of LST queue.
DY46308 2004/12/30	UD52756	Any other VSE/POWER subtask than Async. Service Subtask (-AS), namely DS/LS/SD/SN/S1/TD/TI should take IDUMP when being cancelled under all circumstances - Cancel Code '09' (LIOCS) should not make an exception. When long running CICS/VTAM/TCP-IP jobs with DISP=D/K are replaced by new version, the old job in DISP=* cannot be PALTER'ed to DISP=D so that it vanishes at system shutdown and allows the new version to be released at system startup. Instead the old version is released once more then.
DY46302 2004/12/16	UD52751 UD52752 LEVELSET	Destroyed VSE/POWER class anchors or chain pointers to the free-q-rec chain result in display of quasi empty 'free' queue records, which may be many. When being used to 'number-of-spooled-pages' for LST queue entries and altering them to the XMT queue, then no more pages but LINES are presented, what may be confusing. 1) When remote node sends FCS bytes not equal to X'8FCF', a loop of IDUMP macro-calls and message 1RTLI may occur. 2) When remote node sends incorrect BSC frames, the connection hangs and message 1RC1I is issued.
DY46287 2004/11/02	UD52719 UD52720	Sending small job from RSCS to PNET may cause 'wait-a-bit' re- turned to RSCS resulting in 20 sec delay. MSG 1Q07I INVALID LOGICAL UNIT names 'filename' but not logical unit number when Q/D/A-file have incorrect DLBL/EXTENT/ASSGN.
DY46278 2004/10/14	UD52711	For OUTEXIT (enabled for e.g. LPR by SET OUTEXIT=SAS) which inserts records and where SAS-GET is terminated prematurely by QUIT/CLOSE - the processed q-entry may remain in '*' state without any processing task active. After APAR DY46114 the 'B'rowse column of XMT queue display shows 'D' instead of ' ' when no browser is active.
DY46171 2004/09/21	UD52627	When RJE,SNA is terminated by PSTOP RJE,SNA,EOJ it may take a long time until all data is transmitted. In between a PSTART RJE,SNA command is rejected by message 1R65I RJE,SNA ALREADY STARTED but no RJE terminal is able to SIGNON.
DY46264 2004/09/08	UD52689 UD52690 LEVELSET	PUT-OPEN-APPEND/RESTART position at OPEN time to the logical-end/target by stepping fwd from begin via the SER records. Hence an existing big appendable output may cost many I/O's for positioning to 'end'. Reloading dispatchable entries via OFFLOAD LOAD/SELECT may cost effort to avoid immediate execution or processing of these entries. For networking any transmitted entry is recorded on console by msg 1RA0I - but for local LST/PUN tasks (especially with 'VM'option) there exists no automatic message for a processed queue entry. Such msg would help in revision.
DY46258 2004/08/20	UD52676	Deleting many (1000) VSE/POWER queue entries at one time may end up in monopolizing the spooling process and the shared t1-exchange by the VSE/POWER private termination subtask, which drives the 2nd stage of queue entry deletion.
DY46164 2004/08/11	UD52573	Due to either slow mechanical performance or unfavorable microcode, some tape units (3490F) may cause the VSE/POWER POFFLOAD LOAD or SELECT function to require much more time (hours instead of minutes).
DY46242 2004/06/24	UD52655 UD52656 LEVELSET	PRELEASE queue,ALL does not touch DISP=L entries but makes DISP=H entries dispatchable (D) without warning/confirmation, whether this mighty function is really wanted on all classes of the named queue. Since DY42661 control of local UR-devices by PSTART/PSTOP/PGO is allowed by Spool Access Support (SAS) users. However 'PDISPLAY M' is not allowed to find out, which task is e.g. 1Q40A bound and needs a 'PGO'. Attempt to change the local node name fails with 1RE8I - but without any ACTIVE SYSID (at switch from non-shr (abn. terminated before) system to a shared system). e.g. 1Q40A bound and needs a 'PGO'. When VSE/POWER queue records have been overwritten in storage or on disk, then VSE/POWER warm start recovery may be mislead by seemingly correct indications in the queue records and may overlay lowcore.
DY46123 2004/04/26	UD52521 UD52528	For 'write once' tapes/cartridges as 9346 or 3592 - when EOV hit - VSE/ POWER cannot backout the (last) partially written Q-entry by POFFLOAD BACKUP/PICKUP/SAVE, and cannot terminate the last-but-one by 2 TM's. Since DY46067 the 'D A' cmd presents display of SEP/NOSEP/... for LST/PUN tasks. For exec. processor tasks however an additional comma is placed before jobname or 'INACTIVE'. When centr. op. PDISPLAY cmd creates many display lines, then console router buffers may be exhausted & WTO fails & cmd is terminated prematurely. Acc. to A&O description for PDISPLAY STATUS, the 'USED' DBLKGPs comprise 'in-creation','queued','in-deletion' and 'lost-due-err'. This may be incomplete while a big Q-entry is finally deleted from DEL-queue while its DBLKGPs do not yet appear as 'FREE' ones. D STATUS presents shared time intervals when Q-file runs shared, but does not inform about account file usage (also shared or non shared).
DY46130 2004/04/21 HIPER	UD52520	Extending the data file fails with message 1QD3A DATA FILE EXTENSION FAILED FOR EXTENT NO. nnn, RC=0005 when an existing extent of the data file does not start on track boundary for Data File on CKD/ECKD. Extending the data file fails with message 4783I INVALID LOGICAL UNIT IJDFILE SYSxyz=cuu volid when the new data file extent is defined with a different device geometry but the same device type. For example a 3380 and a 3390 emulated on a 2105 have the same device type x'6E' (meaning ECKD) but a different track size.
DY46109 2004/02/18 HIPER	UD52510 UD52511 LEVELSET	When JOB segments LST/PUN output in creation using VSE/POWER macro IPWSEGM or SEGMENT, a SAS GET BROWSE request to the new increation queue entry fails with RC=0004, FDBK=0001 and FDB2=000C. IUI dialogue "Manage Batch Queues" 6 = In-Creation Queue fails to access such a segment and issues IESV0089I FOLLOWING MESSAGE(S) FROM PROGRAM 'IESBQP2 ', OFFSET X'6D0A'. IESB0012I UNABLE TO CONTINUE - DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION SAVED. When SET statement DLSEPSAS=FORCE is used IUI "Manage Batch Queues" dialogue fails for each queue type. IESV0089I FOLLOWING MESSAGE(S) FROM PROGRAM 'IESBQUP ', OFFSET X'2748'. IESB0144I $$SSSSSSSSSS PPPPPPPPPPP LL IESB0144I PREVIOUS MESSAGE WAS RETURNED BY A SUBSYSTEM.
DY46190 2004/02/10	UD52579	When a non shared VSE/POWER startup phase addresses a shared VSE/POWER queue/data file for warm start commented by msg 1QB3I then msg 1QB3D asks, if another CPU still operates on the spool files. At incorrect reply the sharing and the non shared system operate acc. to different rules and destroy the free DBLKGP subchains. This leads to many drastic errors, e.g. 1QZ0I RC=14 or 1QFAA & 1QH3I.
DY46173 2003/12/30	UD52561 UD52562	Inadvertently entered 'L LST,ALL' may address and erase thousands of entries without requesting operator confirmation. This is too dangerous. Failing XPCC application may loop on CONNECT'ing to SYSPWR hence consuming all VSE/POWER part. Getvis & SETPFIX storage by created SAS tasks.
DY46153 2003/10/28	UD52526 UD52527	Influencing Spool Access (SAS) GET tasks via SET DLSEP to support and customize single sheet printing does not become active for SAS tasks although stated in A&O on page 181. PSTART TASKTR with FULL option verifies POWER's TCB and BCW chain at every POWER Dispatch cycle - but not for (hundreds) of other partition dispatch events, that could destroy these chains long before POWER can identify the destruction and catch the culprit.
DY46067 2003/10/13 HIPER	UD52453 UD52448 LEVELSET	After PDISPLAY CRE VSE/POWER may terminate due to SEGMENT Translation Exception as shown in message 1Q2CI IDUMP may not contain SVA-31, although it was requested by TASKTR with option FULL TCP/IP nodes may be disconnected and restarted (messages 1RTWI,1RB0I, 1R03I, 1RB8I), if no data is exchanged between the nodes. Warm start recovery may issue 1QZ0I RC=0013, although all is correct The PSTART LST/PUN options 'SEP/..' are not reflected in D A as the VM option
DY46063 2003/09/15	UD52414	After VTAM abnormal termination and restart of VTAM, RJE,SNA can not be restarted but returns 1V=2I RC=0004. Attempt to stop VSE/POWER's internal DBLK Group tracing should be rejected by new message 1QAGI: 1QAGI 'PSTOP DBLKTR' OBSOLETE - NO LONGER NEEDED
DY46056 2003/08/25	UD52390 UD52391	When a totally filled POWER Account file resides on CKD and is saved to a equally sized CKD SD file by PACCOUNT DISK,dlblname the saving task may fail with message 0P22I P TRACK FMT SYSxxx=cuu The Account file can not be saved thus the system is locked until it is saved to tape or deleted. When TASKTR been Pstarted with FULL to verify the TCB/BCW chains at each VSE/POWER dispatch cycle, POWER may idle for seconds, where other programs might have destroyed POWER's critical storage, what can no longer be re- constructed from the already overflown DEBUG area(s).
DY46128 2003/08/07	UD52476	D LST,,3 command (actually invalid) accepted as D LST, resulting in bulk amount of (CICS) console messages. When console router buffers exhausted POWER loops on wait-1-sec and retry WTO request, while spooling resource DMB remains locked, because display cmd follows a class chain. When SAS spooling output indicates SPLORCFM=ASA, but data records contain MCC op-codes, POWER does NO verification (as documented in Appl. Progr.). When later SAS GET retrieves this q-entry with option SPLGOPT2.SPLGO2AC (convert ASA-->MCC), default action (skip 1 and write immed) is taken for any MCC-code ( = unknown ASA).
DY46107 2003/07/10	UD52458 UD52457 LEVELSET	Implicit TREADY COND=CANCEL for LIBR subtask with CC='FE' does no longer lead to correct DETACH of subtask. Hence POWER task waits eternally for DETACH completion before re-attaching a new LIBR subtask - while ASWE remains locked and all SLI of other partitions grinds to a halt. If youuseIPWSEGMKEEP=YES,JECL= .. to overwriteselected attributes of 1st output segment, and if you want to reestablish the overwritten attributes inasubsequentIPWSEGMKEEP=YES,JECL=... request, then you can do it only for attributes re-turned by IPW$MXD at offset X'70'. However e.g. target node/user info is currently not reflected by the IPW$MXD parm. list.
DY46031 2003/06/27 HIPER	UD52377 UD52378	When big q-entry or many normal sized are deleted by one command, 'free-writing' of returned DBLKGPs may be lengthy. For that period spooling requests for a new DBLKGP have to wait and command task will not return to requestor. When system crashes while dynamic class executes (one) JOB-P and syst. restarts with SET NORUN=YES, then jobs been in exec. are set DISP=X (also JOB-P), but only static part. enter 1Q36I // PAUSE mode (for op. re-arrangement of exec. sequence), while dyn. class(es) selects the next dispatchable job for execution.
DY46110 2003/06/26	UD52440	When the queue file is placed beyond track 32768, VSE/POWER issues message 1QE8A erroneously. Also queue file re-allocation is no longer possible, when the queue file is placed beyond track 32768. It will fail with message 1QE2A RC=0005
DY46024 2003/06/16	UD52370	When the account file is full, a PACCOUNT DEL/DISK/TAPE must be started, to free the account file. When PACCOUNT task starts, the TCB is located in PFIXed storage cushion. If no PFIXed storage is available, any further request for PFIXed storage issued by the PACCOUNT task fails and the task waits forever, because other tasks can't release storage until they can write their accounting records.
DY46094 2003/05/19	UD52425	Segmentation of 3800 spooled output at PDUMP request can currently be avoided be SET PDUMP=NOSEGMNT. However a program check or cancel dump still creates segmented job output in the list queue. When POWER abn. terminates while in partition A job A1 runs with with 'NORUN=IGN' and another disp. job A2 exists in same class, and when POWER recovery creates a job B1 with DISP=X (due SET NORUN=YES), then job A1 re-starts execution as desired, but subsequent job A2 enters a loop on msg 1R30I.
DY46088 2003/05/15	UD52419	When a VSE/POWER command is entered with an incorrect queue class (PSTART, POFFLOAD or PALTER), then some key-board symbols could cause an incorrect message 1R54I contents, or a program check and an IDUMP. When using the POFFLOAD LOAD command and the POFFLOAD input tape contained incorrect queue entries, then an IDUMP could occur for each entry, causing the IDUMP file to quickly be filled.
DY46073 2003/04/29	UD52405	When a continued * $$ LST statement in an SLI member is updated, following error message appears: 1R33D CORRECT FULL STATEMENT If for example the following SLI-member SLIMEMB.M01 is used with the sequence numbers in column 73-80: * $$ LST DISP=H, ... M0100001 * $$ CLASS=A, ... M0100002 * $$ DEST=(,HUS), ... M0100003 * $$ FNO=HUHU, ... M0100004 * $$ PRI=4 ...

DY45981 2003/04/10 HIPER	UD52347	When PSTOP cuu,FORCE is issued, the termination of the printer task will overlay the previously used save area. This may cause VSE/POWER abnormal termination indicated by message 1Q2CI.
DY46030 2003/02/04	UD52345 UD52346 LEVELSET	When the STOP command is issued and the task is waiting for spool I/O completion, VSE/POWER is terminated abnormally and message 1Q2C is issued. When short queue entries are transmitted via PNET, the console may be overflowing with message 1RA0I and message should be suppressed.
DY46047 2003/02/25	UD52343 UD52344	Job output was being submitted via the SAS PUT interface, and when the internally provided job and data set control records were opened and initialized by the IPW$$PC function, corrupted data provided by the caller caused a loop. If IPEXTRAD has been specified and PSTART has not yet been issued on the local system for the remote node, the NAK control record received at the remote node may contain sometimes an ip-address unknown to the remote node.
DY46046 2003/02/24	UD52341 UD52342	VSE/POWER uses as local ip-address always the one specified in the TCP/IP statement SET IPADDR and passes it via NJE control records to the remote node which issues message 1RT5I if the ip-address does not match its definition. So PNET/TCP is unable to work behind a firewall.
DY46045 2003/02/20	UD52340	When a VSE/POWER subtask fails while it executes a $$B-transient in Logical Transient Area (LTA), the VSE/POWER message 1Q2CI does not point to the failing instruction but to the SVC 2 instead. Msg 1RTUA/VA (by SVC 0) appear in green but should be in red for man. deletion
DY46044 2003/02/19	UD52339	&PWRTNOD will appear as blank, although the executing node has a non blank node name. Using * $$ LST DEST=* however will create &PWRTNOD with node name of executing system.

Last update: July 25, 2006

APAR Date	PTF	Contents
DY46527 2006/01/31	UD53009 - 65C UD53008 - 65G LEVELSET	* DO NOT INSTALL (PE) * Please use this Patch (PDF, 5KB) if you have already installed this PTF or if you must install this PTF to correct other problems. When VSE/POWER's own 'TI00' Timer Exit routine is disabled by a user exit coded 'SETIME r1,r2' with ECB, or by replacement with OEM own Timer Exit routine, then the Time Event scheduling functions will come to a halt. VSE/POWER Networking entries that are transmitted via RSCS or AIX nodes will produce a "transmission acceptance" message even though the entries did not specify the NTFY= operand.
DY46456 2006/01/30	UD52919 - 65C	When more than 10 CICS systems run in parallel, VSE/POWER is unable to handle 11th request for a NOTIFY connection. The request is accepted but only 10 slots for NOTIFY connections are available. The 11th connection stays in a state which does not received notifications nor can disconnect. Therefore a restart of this CICS will find remains when connected again and DFHRC5301 DBDCCICS FAILED TO INITIALIZE POWER INTERFACE is issued
DY46438 2006/01/11	UD52915 - 65C	* DO NOT INSTALL (PE) * Please use this Patch (PDF, 5KB) if you have already installed this PTF or if you must install this PTF to correct other problems. For PALTER LST,H,USER=Rnnn with more than 500 entries in disp. or non disp. chain, command processor loops on writing to queue file - while DMB is unlocked periodically (fortunately). If data is included via * $$ SLI and * $$ DATA statements and a /$SLI statement is used to end data to be included, results are unpredictable. If in a $$ LST/PUN statement the PRI= operand is specified without a value, the priority value for the created queue entries shows up as a blank or ','. Trace message 1RT2I ends sometimes with (ACT)NT) wherey the 'NT)' are meaningless.
DY46497 2005/11/28	UD52971 - 65C	When the VSE/AF LOCK macro fails for the VSE/POWER external lock IJQFILE, the IDUMP accompanying 1QB5I RC=rr01 does not contain the 31-bit Getvis area with the Lock Manager Table, that should be compared against the 'Lock Manager Error Data' on console to analyze the cause of failure.
DY46474 2005/10/20 HIPER	UD52942 - 65C	At data file extension during warm start msg 1QD2I appears for existing d-file extent but then VSE/POWER branches to lowcore 000000 and is cancelled with msg 1Q2CI PSW ..000002 and with IDUMP of VSE/POWER partition.
DY46461 2005/10/07	UD52925 - 65C UD52926 - 65G LEVELSET	When during profile processing of dyn. part. 'Xn' the partition is cancelled by operator, then 1Q6FA RC=0002 is issued and class 'X' is disabled for job selection. For CRE-queue browsing and Restart to Active the q-rec field QRC2 is used at length of 16 bytes, but cleared in implicite QRC2 length of 32 bytes.
DY46442 2005/08/30	UD52910 - 65C	During PNET SNA node termination, when all RCV/TSM tasks have terminated, a new RCV task may be created whilst PWR DISCONNECT task is processing, leading to 1QZ0I RC=0031 dump due to later check of task chain, whether any task still exists for terminating NCB.
DY46426 2005/08/15	UD52897 - 65C UD52898 - 65C	When data is received from JES2 (or RSCS) via a SNA link, ending blanks may be lost. When BTRNC=NO has been specified in the PSTART PNET,node command and the hardcopy file wraps around, no information is available whether it has been specified or not. Operating systems other than z/VSE do not support multihoming (as done by z/VSE offering the IPEXTRAD parameter in the PNODE macro) for TCP links. Connections can not be established, message 1RT5I is issued.
DY46419 2005/08/09	UD52885 - 65C	Palter command has to commit the changes to q-file on disk. When bulk alteration is requested, this may take seconds while DMB is locked - disallowing tasks to gain control that need the DMB resource. The Dsect MAPPOWJB for GETFLD FIELD=POWJOB provides Jobname and Jobnumber of the active VSE/POWER job, but the Jobclass is missing. When m/d/y pattern has been changed during VSE/POWER warm start (e.g. during FSU), CRDATE= specifications are interpreted in the current e.g. d/m/y pattern. Hence entries created before the warm start can not be manipulated by CRDATE= to isolate them.
DY46389 2005/06/28	UD52855 - 65C UD52854 - 65G	PNET usage: The JES copy count, for example COPIES=(164,(24,...,17)) of 164 in NDHGDSCT is destroyed when sending 3800 output through an intermediate VSE/POWER PNET node (replaced by number of copy groups). Job/output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes are transmitted with trailing blanks but these are removed forever when data is spooled by VSE/POWER as final or intermediate node. If job/output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes contain trailing blanks and are forwarded to another JES, RSCS, the record length is different from the original record length. If output data originating from non VSE/POWER (e.g. JES, RSCS) nodes consist of various parts with different record lengths and are forwarded to another JES, RSCS, the record lengths are different form the original record lengths. The VM/CMS user of the VSECMD command does not receive a VSE/POWER response message for the PACCOUNT command. VSE/POWER recovery startup may fail 1Q2CI CC=21, ILLEGAL SVC, PHASE=IPW$$NU, TASK='P PS', even more in VSE/POWER shared environment.
DY46398 2005/06/17	UD52851 - 65C	When PNET receiver task stalls due to 1Q38A NO DASD AVAILABLE, then the PDRAIN command is not effective, but receiver remains in wait-for-Data-File-DBLK. When SAS-PUT-Job/Out task stalls due to 1Q38A NO DASD AVAILABLE, then the PSTOP SAS command is not effective, but SAS-PUT task remains in wait-for-Data-File-DBLK.
DY46318 2005/06/15 HIPER	UD52766 - 65C	After queue file recovery VSE/POWER terminates with Msg1Q2CI: F1 0001 1QB8I QUEUE FILE RECOVERY COMPLETED F1 0001 1Q20I AUTOSTART IN PROGRESS F1 0001 1Q2CI PSW=070D1000003B5CFA ILC=1, CC=21 ILLEGAL SVC PHASE=IPW$$NU (003B5000,DY46224) TASK=O CP, (0060B200)
DY46380 2005/06/07	UD52840 - 65C	The PCANCEL command specifying a specific job (jobname and optionally jobnumber) for jobs not protected by a password and not issued by a system administrator can cancel any job.
DY46365 2005/05/09	UD52827 - 65C UD52828 - 65C	A DISP=I created job gets the default job execution disposition of 'D'. Whenever such job fails and cancels, the job is deleted from the reader queue and it can no longer be viewed to verify its correctness.
DY46356 2005/04/22	UD52816 - 65C	When SIGNON record of other PNET node must be rejected by 1RB2I RC=1/5, the invalid other node name is not displayed.
DY46227 2005/03/21	UD52685 - 65C UD52686 - 65G LEVELSET	Unprintable characters in HDR1-part of message 1QB9A may abend VSE/POWER with message 1Q2CI with SEGM. TRANSL. EXCEPTION in phase IPW$$MX The error handling of PNET SSL for the GSKSSOCINIT call will ignore an I/O error (RC=-00000010 or the equate FRCN0010). Also an ERRNO=00001102 (EWOULDBLOCK) handling leads to an IDUMP in the cases of GSKSSOCREAD GSKSSOCWRITE GSKSSOCCLOSE GSKSSOCRESET PACCOUNT PUN creates IDUMP indicated by msg 1Q2JI in IPW$$02 when data file is full and no DBLKGPs are available.
DY46226 2005/03/21	UD52680 - 65C UD52683 - 65G	DUETIME operand does not support to calculate a runtime dependant on time when job entered system. The record count of a list output received from a JES2/3 is different than the record count displayed by JES2/3
DY46232 2005/03/17	UD52679 - 65C	1. When all DBLKGP cushion elements are used and FREE DBLK GROUP count is 0, the next request for a queue display via Spool Access Support, e.g. by IUI, fails with 1QZ0I RC=0025 in module IPW$$DQ. 2. FULL queue display does not show creation time.
DY46224 2005/03/02	UD52678 - 65C	VSE/POWER may terminate with message 1Q2CI CC=20 in task 'I IT' in module IPW$$NU at offset x'CA0' due to misused TCB.
DY46309 2005/01/17	UD52763 UD52762	POFFLOAD SELECT for labelled tape will bring msg 1Q77I RC=000c if it searches beyond the first tape tape volume and a continued queue entry at the end of a searched volume is not eligible for selection. For dynamic partitions a default * $$ LST/PUN output class cannot be selected as with static partitions, namely (A-Z or 0-9). Instead the dynamic part. default is 'A' or the execution class itself, provided the SET DYNOUTCL=DYNCL stmt. is active. POFFLOAD LOAD/SELECT transports RDR entries of other nodes back to the own RDR queue, but when executed, their output may end up in the XMT queue instead of LST queue.
DY46306 2004/12/29	UD52755	Any other VSE/POWER subtask than Async. Service Subtask (-AS), namely DS/LS/SD/SN/S1/TD/TI should take IDUMP when being cancelled under all circumstances - Cancel Code '09' (LIOCS) should not make an exception. When long running CICS/VTAM/TCP-IP jobs with DISP=D/K are replaced by new version, the old job in DISP=* cannot be PALTER'ed to DISP=D so that it vanishes at system shutdown and allows the new version to be released at system startup. Instead the old version is released once more then.
DY46300 2004/12/14	UD52749 UD52750 LEVELSET	Destroyed VSE/POWER class anchors or chain pointers to the free-q-rec chain result in display of quasi empty 'free' queue records, which may be many. When being used to 'number-of-spooled-pages' for LST queue entries and altering them to the XMT queue, then no more pages but LINES are presented, what may be confusing. 1) When remote node sends FCS bytes not equal to X'8FCF', a loop of IDUMP macro-calls and message 1RTLI may occur. 2) When remote node sends incorrect BSC frames, the connection hangs and message 1RC1I is issued.
DY46285 2004/10/29	UD52717 UD52718	Sending small job from RSCS to PNET may cause 'wait-a-bit' re- turned to RSCS resulting in 20 sec delay. MSG 1Q07I INVALID LOGICAL UNIT names 'filename' but not logical unit number when Q/D/A-file have incorrect DLBL/EXTENT/ASSGN.
DY46280 2004/10/15	UD52712	For OUTEXIT (enabled for e.g. LPR by SET OUTEXIT=SAS) which inserts records and where SAS-GET is terminated prematurely by QUIT/CLOSE - the processed q-entry may remain in '*' state without any processing task active. After APAR DY46114 the 'B'rowse column of XMT queue display shows 'D' instead of ' ' when no browser is active.
DY46168 2004/09/21	UD52626	When RJE,SNA is terminated by PSTOP RJE,SNA,EOJ it may take a long time until all data is transmitted. In between a PSTART RJE,SNA command is rejected by message 1R65I RJE,SNA ALREADY STARTED but no RJE terminal is able to SIGNON.
DY46152 2004/09/01	UD52618 UD52619 LEVELSET	PUT-OPEN-APPEND/RESTART position at OPEN time to the logical-end/target by stepping fwd from begin via the SER records. Hence an existing big appendable output may cost many I/O's for positioning to 'end'. Reloading dispatchable entries via OFFLOAD LOAD/SELECT may cost effort to avoid immediate execution or processing of these entries. For networking any transmitted entry is recorded on console by msg 1RA0I - but for local LST/PUN tasks (especially with 'VM'option) there exists no automatic message for a processed queue entry. Such msg would help in revision.
DY46256 2004/08/19	UD52675	Deleting many (1000) VSE/POWER queue entries at one time may end up in monopolizing the spooling process and the shared t1-exchange by the VSE/POWER private termination subtask, which drives the 2nd stage of queue entry deletion.
DY46245 2004/08/06	UD52667	Due to either slow mechanical performance or unfavorable microcode, some tape units (3490F) may cause the VSE/POWER POFFLOAD LOAD or SELECT function to require much more time (hours instead of minutes).
DY46150 2004/06/22	UD52557 UD52558 LEVELSET	PRELEASE queue,ALL does not touch DISP=L entries but makes DISP=H entries dispatchable (D) without warning/confirmation, whether this mighty function is really wanted on all classes of the named queue. Since DY42661 control of local UR-devices by PSTART/PSTOP/PGO is allowed by Spool Access Support (SAS) users. However 'PDISPLAY M' is not allowed to find out, which task is e.g. 1Q40A bound and needs a 'PGO'. Attempt to change the local node name fails with 1RE8I - but without any ACTIVE SYSID (at switch from non-shr (abn. terminated before) system to a shared system). e.g. 1Q40A bound and needs a 'PGO'. When VSE/POWER queue records have been overwritten in storage or on disk, then VSE/POWER warm start recovery may be mislead by seemingly correct indications in the queue records and may overlay lowcore.
DY46222 2004/05/03	UD52620 UD52621	For 'write once' tapes/cartridges as 9346 or 3592 - when EOV hit - VSE/ POWER cannot backout the (last) partially written Q-entry by POFFLOAD BACKUP/PICKUP/SAVE, and cannot terminate the last-but-one by 2 TM's. Since DY46067 the 'D A' cmd presents display of SEP/NOSEP/... for LST/PUN tasks. For exec. processor tasks however an additional comma is placed before jobname or 'INACTIVE'. When centr. op. PDISPLAY cmd creates many display lines, then console router buffers may be exhausted & WTO fails & cmd is terminated prematurely. Acc. to A&O description for PDISPLAY STATUS, the 'USED' DBLKGPs comprise 'in-creation','queued','in-deletion' and 'lost-due-err'. This may be incomplete while a big Q-entry is finally deleted from DEL-queue while its DBLKGPs do not yet appear as 'FREE' ones. D STATUS presents shared time intervals when Q-file runs shared, but does not inform about account file usage (also shared or non shared).
DY46129 2004/04/20 HIPER	UD52519	Extending the data file fails with message 1QD3A DATA FILE EXTENSION FAILED FOR EXTENT NO. nnn, RC=0005 when an existing extent of the data file does not start on track boundary for Data File on CKD/ECKD. Extending the data file fails with message 4783I INVALID LOGICAL UNIT IJDFILE SYSxyz=cuu volid when the new data file extent is defined with a different device geometry but the same device type. For example a 3380 and a 3390 emulated on a 2105 have the same device type x'6E' (meaning ECKD) but a different track size.
DY46108 2004/02/17 HIPER	UD52502 UD52503 LEVELSET	When JOB segments LST/PUN output in creation using VSE/POWER macro IPWSEGM or SEGMENT, a SAS GET BROWSE request to the new increation queue entry fails with RC=0004, FDBK=0001 and FDB2=000C. IUI dialogue "Manage Batch Queues" 6 = In-Creation Queue fails to access such a segment and issues IESV0089I FOLLOWING MESSAGE(S) FROM PROGRAM 'IESBQP2 ', OFFSET X'6D0A'. IESB0012I UNABLE TO CONTINUE - DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION SAVED. When SET statement DLSEPSAS=FORCE is used IUI "Manage Batch Queues" dialogue fails for each queue type. IESV0089I FOLLOWING MESSAGE(S) FROM PROGRAM 'IESBQUP ', OFFSET X'2748'. IESB0144I $$SSSSSSSSSS PPPPPPPPPPP LL IESB0144I PREVIOUS MESSAGE WAS RETURNED BY A SUBSYSTEM.
DY46175 2004/02/09	UD52577	When a non shared VSE/POWER startup phase addresses a shared VSE/POWER queue/data file for warm start commented by msg 1QB3I then msg 1QB3D asks, if another CPU still operates on the spool files. At incorrect reply the sharing and the non shared system operate acc. to different rules and destroy the free DBLKGP subchains. This leads to many drastic errors, e.g. 1QZ0I RC=14 or 1QFAA & 1QH3I.
DY46169 2003/12/24	UD52559 UD52560	Inadvertently entered 'L LST,ALL' may address and erase thousands of entries without requesting operator confirmation. This is too dangerous. Failing XPCC application may loop on CONNECT'ing to SYSPWR hence consuming all VSE/POWER part. Getvis & SETPFIX storage by created SAS tasks.
DY46149 2003/10/23	UD52524 UD52525	Influencing Spool Access (SAS) GET tasks via SET DLSEP to support and customize single sheet printing does not become active for SAS tasks although stated in A&O on page 181. PSTART TASKTR with FULL option verifies POWER's TCB and BCW chain at every POWER Dispatch cycle - but not for (hundreds) of other partition dispatch events, that could destroy these chains long before POWER can identify the destruction and catch the culprit.
DY46066 2003/10/10 HIPER	UD52434 UD52447 LEVELSET	After PDISPLAY CRE VSE/POWER may terminate due to SEGMENT Translation Exception as shown in message 1Q2CI IDUMP may not contain SVA-31, although it was requested by TASKTR with option FULL TCP/IP nodes may be disconnected and restarted (messages 1RTWI,1RB0I, 1R03I, 1RB8I), if no data is exchanged between the nodes. Warm start recovery may issue 1QZ0I RC=0013, although all is correct The PSTART LST/PUN options 'SEP/..' are not reflected in D A as the VM option
DY46063 2003/09/11	UD52413	After VTAM abnormal termination and restart of VTAM, RJE,SNA can not be restarted but returns 1V=2I RC=0004. Attempt to stop VSE/POWER's internal DBLK Group tracing should be rejected by new message 1QAGI: 1QAGI 'PSTOP DBLKTR' OBSOLETE - NO LONGER NEEDED
DY46049 2003/08/22	UD52388 UD52389	When a totally filled POWER Account file resides on CKD and is saved to a equally sized CKD SD file by PACCOUNT DISK,dlblname the saving task may fail with message 0P22I P TRACK FMT SYSxxx=cuu The Account file can not be saved thus the system is locked until it is saved to tape or deleted. When TASKTR been Pstarted with FULL to verify the TCB/BCW chains at each VSE/POWER dispatch cycle, POWER may idle for seconds, where other programs might have destroyed POWER's critical storage, what can no longer be re-constructed from the already overflown DEBUG area(s).
DY46050 2003/08/07	UD52387	D LST,,3 command (actually invalid) accepted as D LST, resulting in bulk amount of (CICS) console messages. When console router buffers exhausted POWER loops on wait-1-sec and retry WTO request, while spooling resource DMB remains locked, because display cmd follows a class chain. When SAS spooling output indicates SPLORCFM=ASA, but data records contain MCC op-codes, POWER does NO verification (as documented in Appl. Progr.). When later SAS GET retrieves this q-entry with option SPLGOPT2.SPLGO2AC (convert ASA-->MCC), default action (skip 1 and write immed) is taken for any MCC-code ( = unknown ASA).
DY46117 2003/07/22	UD52464 UD52465	Implicit TREADY COND=CANCEL for LIBR subtask with CC='FE' does no longer lead to correct DETACH of subtask. Hence POWER task waits eternally for DETACH completion before re-attaching a new LIBR subtask - while ASWE remains locked and all SLI of other partitions grinds to a halt. IfyouuseIPWSEGMKEEP=YES,JECL= .. to overwrite selected attributes of 1st output segment, and if you want to reestablish the overwritten attributes in asubsequentIPWSEGMKEEP=YES,JECL=... request, then you can do it only for attributes re-turned by IPW$MXD at offset X'70'. However e.g. target node/user info is currently not reflected by the IPW$MXD parm. list.
DY46114 2003/07/07 HIPER	UD52449 UD52450 LEVELSET	When big q-entry or many normal sized are deleted by one command, 'free-writing' of returned DBLKGPs may be lengthy. For that period spooling requests for a new DBLKGP have to wait and command task will not return to requestor. When system crashes while dynamic class executes (one) JOB-P and syst. restarts with SET NORUN=YES, then jobs been in exec. are set DISP=X (also JOB-P), but only static part. enter 1Q36I // PAUSE mode (for op. re-arrangement of exec. sequence), while dyn. class(es) selects the next dispatchable job for execution.
DY46033 2003/06/25	UD52376	When the account file is full, a PACCOUNT DEL/DISK/TAPE must be started, to free the account file. When PACCOUNT task starts, the TCB is located in PFIXed storage cushion. If no PFIXed storage is available, any further request for PFIXed storage issued by the PACCOUNT task fails and the task waits forever, because other tasks can't release storage until they can write their accounting records.
DY46092 2003/05/16	UD52420	Segmentation of 3800 spooled output at PDUMP request can currently be avoided be SET PDUMP=NOSEGMNT. However a program check or cancel dump still creates segmented job output in the list queue. When POWER abn. terminates while in partition A job A1 runs with with 'NORUN=IGN' and another disp. job A2 exists in same class, and when POWER recovery creates a job B1 with DISP=X (due SET NORUN=YES), then job A1 re-starts execution as desired, but subsequent job A2 enters a loop on msg 1R30I.
DY45987 2003/05/07	UD52354	When a VSE/POWER command is entered with an incorrect queue class (PSTART, POFFLOAD or PALTER), then some key-board symbols could cause an incorrect message 1R54I contents, or a program check and an IDUMP. When using the POFFLOAD LOAD command and the POFFLOAD input tape contained incorrect queue entries, then an IDUMP could occur for each entry, causing the IDUMP file to quickly be filled.
DY46072 2003/04/29	UD52404	When a continued * $$ LST statement in an SLI member is updated, following error message appears: 1R33D CORRECT FULL STATEMENT If for example the following SLI-member SLIMEMB.M01 is used with the sequence numbers in column 73-80: * $$ LST DISP=H, ...

M0100002 1Q49I INVALID DELIMITER , COL=00072.. 1R33D CORRECT FULL STATEMENT BG If SLIMEMB.M01 contains a non-blank character in continuation column 72 either the following messages are issued: BG-0000 (blank line) BG-0000 1S01D INVALID STATEMENT. and thereafter the statements from the jobstream are displayed: BG 0000 * $$ CLASS=U, BG 0000 * $$ PRI=8 and the list queue entry has the characteristics of the first * $$ LST statement of the jobstream and the second and subsequent statements of the SLI member, whereas the information of the second and subsequent statements of the jobstream is ignored. or no error message is issued and the list queue entry has the characteristics of all * $$ LST statements of the jobstream and the information of all statements of the SLI member is ignored.
DY45973 2003/04/10 HIPER	UD52338	When PSTOP cuu,FORCE is issued, the termination of the printer task will overlay the previously used save area. This may cause VSE/POWER abnormal termination indicated by message 1Q2CI.
DY46038 2003/02/05	UD52327	When the STOP command is issued and the task is waiting for spool I/O completion, VSE/POWER is terminated abnormally and message 1Q2C is issued. When short queue entries are transmitted via PNET, the console may be overflowing with message 1RA0I and message should be suppressed.
DY46020 2002/12/20	UD52315 UD52314 LEVELSET	Job output was being submitted via the SAS PUT interface, and when the internally provided job and data set control records were opened and initialized by the IPW$$PC function, corrupted data provided by the caller caused a loop. If IPEXTRAD has been specified and PSTART has not yet been issued on the local system for the remote node, the NAK control record received at the remote node may contain sometimes an ip-address unknown to the remote node.
DY46015 2002/12/16	UD52303 UD52304	VSE/POWER uses as local ip-address always the one specified in the TCP/IP statement SET IPADDR and passes it via NJE control records to the remote node which issues message 1RT5I if the ip-address does not match its definition. So PNET/TCP is unable to work behind a firewall.
DY45900 2002/12/13	UD52193	When a VSE/POWER subtask fails while it executes a $$B-transient in Logical Transient Area (LTA), the VSE/POWER message 1Q2CI does not point to the failing instruction but to the SVC 2 instead.
DY46012 2002/12/10	UD52292	&PWRTNOD will appear as blank, although the executing node has a non blank node name. Using * $$ LST DEST=* however will create &PWRTNOD with node name of executing system.

DY45895 2002/11/13 HIPER	UD52186	VSE operator starts VSE/POWER task reading jobs from SYSIN tape by command PSTART RDR,tapeaddr. When task completes, shortly afterwards other tasks may fail with various symptoms due to corrupted work areas. MSG1QZ0I RC=45 may be issued by print task or PDISPLAY LST may show page count of 6656 pages left for printing for an active output.
DY45870 2002/08/15	UD52171 UD52170 LEVELSET	When RDR type queue entry is restarted during SAS-GET or -BROWSE, and entry consumes more than one DBLK Group, and 'position on lines' (PXRSOPOL) option is set, then the restart position is incorrect. When POFFLOAD SELECT is entered specifying ALL,CDISP= this is rejected with 1R52I O OPERAND 02 MISSING OR INVALID. The date of the last level set VSE/POWER APAR displayed by the 'SIR' command is always in mm/dd format - whatever DATE format option is active.
DY45853 2002/07/23	UD52155	When starting the PNET TCP function, and the hex value of the Host ID is negative, then the startup fails with the error MSG1QZ0I RC=0052. This is due to the EZASMI GETHOSTID interface returning a Host ID whose hex value is negative, which was assumed to be an error condition. When PSTART PARTITION command in Autostart Procedure does not respect the sequence of READER/PRINTERS/PUN.., but mentions e.g. PRINTERs first, then the misleading message 1R91I PSTART TOO MANY OPERANDS ... does not describe the real cause. .
DY45942 2002/06/27 HIPER	UD52213	After extending the command area to 130 byte, PXMIT does no longer pass commands in correct form to Device Driving Systems like PSF or CICS/RCF. he command is rejected for example by MSG1QY6I PXMIT COMMAND NOT ACCEPTED BY DDS=SYSPSFP1, RC=0801 .
DY45933 2002/06/14	UD52198	When POFFLOAD PICKUP runs while entries of the Wait for run sub queue expire or are re-scheduled, then entries may get lost from the WFR sub queue.
DY45835 2002/04/29 HIPER	UD52113 UD52112 LEVELSET	When a LST task loads an FCB into VSE/POWER partition GETVIS, a VSE subtask is attached an uses module IPW$$AS to execute the LOAD macro. This macro modifies IPW$$AS to save pointers. When 2nd LST tasks needs to LOAD a FCB phase to another storage area, the 2nd subtask modifies the same code, so that the pointers for the 1st subtask are destroyed. This causes various problems, when the 1st subtask continues to LOAD with the maimed pointers. VSE/POWER part. GETVIS may be destroyed by FCBs loaded to wrong locations. $LSTnnnn entries (PDISPLAY ALL,LST) or $TAPnnnn entries (Tape DISPLAY) are created with DISP=D & CLASS=A. Often they are processed by printers of class A, before they can be viewed by the operator. Entries should be created with at least DISP=H.
DY45825 2002/03/14	UD52050	When a SAS BROWSE tasks accesses a job currently being executed by a partition the QRS2.QR2XRD flag is reset and therefore the PDISPLAY RDR display does no longer contain the active partition information (PART=partition-id).
DY45821 2002/02/22 HIPER	UD52041	The DELETION-Queue entry is not freed when the last accessing SAS BROWSE task is terminated abnormally. This may cause Short on DBLK conditions indicated by message 1Q38A NO DASD SPACE AVAILABLE
DY45806 2002/02/08	UD52031 UD52032	No encryption is performed, although ENCRYPT=STRONG has been used in PNODE macro. The VSE/POWER command PINQUIRE=remote-nodeid displays a used cipher of X'0001' which means no encryption is performed.

SAS Direct GET OPEN request to XMT-Q reflects SPLGQI='X' in Verification SPL but does not identify the entry as 'job' or 'output' type.
DY45804 2002/01/31	UD52025 UD52026	If a VSE/POWER command longer than 71 characters is issued, POWER truncates the command and sets the last byte to blank for its command parsing. These maimed commands lead to various error message like 1R52I command-code LAST OPERAND INVALID or 1R52I command-code OPERAND nn INVALID or the truncated command may be accepted but return a wrong result.
DY45874 2002/01/24	UD52077 UD52078	List output has been produced using an FCB specified in the * $$ LST statement. When list output is printed on the local printer the separator pages contain the FCBNAME. Whenlist output is retrieved via the spool access support (SAS), the FCBNAME is missing on the separator pages.
DY45786 2001/12/21	UD520005	If MACC count of a queue entry is not correctly decremented by SAS or DST Browse task, the entry might added to the DELETION queue although no task is actually browsing the entry. Then the DBLK groups of this entry are kept and storage is not released.
DY45783 2001/12/04	UD51969	After the introduction of the APAR DY45276 to detect if the POFFLOAD command was being issued for a labeled tape without the labeled tape operands the message 1Q77I RC=000A was introduced but without respecting the necessary register usage.
DY45838 2001/11/22	UD52015 UD52016	The LEFT= count presented at D A for a PNET transmitter is built with a 3 byte field TNETL copied by IPW$$NT at startup time from the corresp. 4 byte card/lines counts in the q-record. At D A the already transmitted number (4 bytes) is subtracted from TNETL and is shown as 'LEFT='. This fails and becomes negative for q-entries with total counts greater than 16MB (needs more than 3 bytes).

When these logical boundaries are not respected by operators at PLOAD time, and the exit itself does not verify, whether the expected work area size has become effective, failures may occur.
DY45748 2001/11/16	UD51936	VSE/POWER networking function may fail with various symptoms, when records with a record length of approximately 1020 bytes are received. For PNET BSC/CTC/TCP IDUMP will be taken (1Q2JI) from IPW$$NK followed by message 1RB6I with RC=00C1. For PNET SNA unpredictable results may occur.
DY45747 2001/11/16	UD51936 UD51939	VSE/POWER LIST & PUNCH account records miss information about programmer name, building, department, room and VM distribution code. This information is shown on separator pages/cards but not included in the LST/PUN account records.
DY45745 2001/11/16	UD51936 UD51939	Program spools to 3800 printer using a default FCB 885G set by SETDF. Whenever a PDUMP request is issued, dump routine IJBXDPIO issues one SETPRT request to reset the printer before the dump is printed and another SETPRT request to reestablish the original values. This causes VSE/POWER to segment the output in multiple parts. For example TCP/IP FOR VSE issues more than 20 PDUMP requests, resulting in more than 20 outputs. Output spooled to non-3800 printer or to 3800 printer without FCB is not segmented. The segmented dump hinders dump analysis.

DY46065 2003/10/08 HIPER	UD52431 UD52430	After PDISPLAY CRE VSE/POWER may terminate due to SEGMENT Translation Exception as shown in message 1Q2CI IDUMP may not contain SVA-31, although it was requested by TASKTR with option FULL TCP/IP nodes may be disconnected and restarted (messages 1RTWI,1RB0I, 1R03I, 1RB8I), if no data is exchanged between the nodes.
DY46054 2003/08/25	UD52392	When a totally filled POWER Account file resides on CKD and is saved to a equally sized CKD SD file by PACCOUNT DISK,dlblname the saving task may fail with message 0P22I P TRACK FMT SYSxxx=cuu The Account file can not be saved thus the system is locked until it is saved to tape or deleted.
DY46127 2003/08/07	UD52475	D LST,,3 command (actually invalid) accepted as D LST, resulting in bulk amount of (CICS) console messages. When console router buffers exhausted POWER loops on wait-1-sec and retry WTO request, while spooling resource DMB remains locked, because display cmd follows a class chain. When SAS spooling output indicates SPLORCFM=ASA, but data records contain MCC op-codes, POWER does NO verification (as documented in Appl. Progr.). When later SAS GET retrieves this q-entry with option SPLGOPT2.SPLGO2AC (convert ASA-->MCC), default action (skip 1 and write immed) is taken for any MCC-code ( = unknown ASA).
DY46118 2003/07/23	UD52466 UD52467 LEVELSET	Implicit TREADY COND=CANCEL for LIBR subtask with CC='FE' does no longer lead to correct DETACH of subtask. Hence POWER task waits eternally for DETACH completion before re-attaching a new LIBR subtask - while ASWE remains locked and all SLI of other partitions grinds to a halt. IfyouuseIPWSEGMKEEP=YES,JECL= .. to overwrite selected attributes of 1st output segment, and if you want to reestablish the overwritten attributes inasubsequentIPWSEGMKEEP=YES,JECL=... request, then you can do it only for attributes re-turned by IPW$MXD at offset X'70'. However e.g. target node/user info is currently not reflected by the IPW$MXD parm. list.
DY46032 2003/06/25	UD52375	When the account file is full, a PACCOUNT DEL/DISK/TAPE must be started, to free the account file. When PACCOUNT task starts, the TCB is located in PFIXed storage cushion. If no PFIXed storage is available, any further request for PFIXed storage issued by the PACCOUNT task fails and the task waits forever, because other tasks can't release storage until they can write their accounting records.
DY46093 2003/05/19	UD52424	Segmentation of 3800 spooled output at PDUMP request can currently be avoided be SET PDUMP=NOSEGMNT. However a program check or cancel dump still creates segmented job output in the list queue. When POWER abn. terminates while in partition A job A1 runs with with 'NORUN=IGN' and another disp. job A2 exists in same class, and when POWER recovery creates a job B1 with DISP=X (due SET NORUN=YES), then job A1 re-starts execution as desired, but subsequent job A2 enters a loop on msg 1R30I.
DY46087 2003/05/15	UD52418	When a VSE/POWER command is entered with an incorrect queue class (PSTART, POFFLOAD or PALTER), then some key-board symbols could cause an incorrect message 1R54I contents, or a program check and an IDUMP. When using the POFFLOAD LOAD command and the POFFLOAD input tape contained incorrect queue entries, then an IDUMP could occur for each entry, causing the IDUMP file to quickly be filled. When updating a non-continued JECL statement within an SLI member by a continued statement in the jobstream using $SLIxnnn sequence numbers, following messages may be issued: * $H DEST=(,HUS), ... 1Q49I INVALID DELIMITER , COL=00018 .. 1R33D CORRECT FULL STATEMENT F4 and if the statement has been corrected by a reply to message 1R33D following messages may be issued with the replid of the user partition: 0004 // JOB DY4594A2 + 0004 1S03D INVALID STATEMENT.
DY45960 2003/04/08 / HIPER	UD52318	When PSTOP cuu,FORCE is issued, the termination of the printer task will overlay the previously used save area. This may cause VSE/POWER abnormal termination indicated by message 1Q2CI.
DY45948 2003/04/08	UD52319	When a continued * $$ LST statement in an SLI member is updated, following error message appears: 1R33D CORRECT FULL STATEMENT If for example the following SLI-member SLIMEMB.M01 is used with the sequence numbers in column 73-80: * $$ LST DISP=H, M0100001 * $$ CLASS=A, M0100002 * $$ DEST=(,HUS), M0100003 * $$ FNO=HUHU, M0100004 * $$ PRI=4 M0100005 and the job stream contains following statement: * $$ SLI=SLIMEMB.01 * $$ LST DISP=L, -$SLIR001 * $$ CLASS=U, -$SLIR002 * $$ PRI=8 $SLIR005 the following error messages are issued * $H CLASS=A, ..... M0100002 1Q49I INVALID DELIMITER , COL=00072.. 1R33D CORRECT FULL STATEMENT BG If SLIMEMB.M01 contains a non-blank character in continuation column 72 either the following messages are issued: BG-0000 (blank line) BG-0000 1S01D INVALID STATEMENT. and thereafter the statements from the jobstream are displayed: BG 0000 * $$ CLASS=U, BG 0000 * $$ PRI=8 and the list queue entry has the characteristics of the first * $$ LST statement of the jobstream and the second and subsequent statements of the SLI member, whereas the information of the second and subsequent statements of the jobstream is ignored. or no error message is issued and the list queue entry has the characteristics of all * $$ LST statements of the jobstream and the information of all statements of the SLI member is ignored.
DY46030 2003/02/04	UD52326	When the STOP command is issued and the task is waiting for spool I/O completion, VSE/POWER is terminated abnormally and message 1Q2C is issued. When short queue entries are transmitted via PNET, the console may be overflowing with message 1RA0I and message should be suppressed.
DY45901 2002/12/18	UD52199 UD52194 LEVELSET	VSE/POWER uses as local ip-address always the one specified in the TCP/IP statement SET IPADDR and passes it via NJE control records to the remote node which issues message 1RT5I if the ip-address does not match its definition. So PNET/TCP is unable to work behind a firewall.
DY46007 2002/12/16	UD52307 UD52308	Job output was being submitted via the SAS PUT interface, and when the internally provided job and data set control records were opened and initialized by the IPW$$PC function, corrupted data provided by the caller caused a loop.
DY46019 2002/12/16	UD52305	When a VSE/POWER subtask fails while it executes a $$B-transient in Logical Transient Area (LTA), the VSE/POWER message 1Q2CI does not point to the failing instruction but to the SVC 2 instead.
DY46016 2002/12/11	UD52294	&PWRTNOD will appear as blank, although the executing node has a non blank node name. Using * $$ LST DEST=* however will create &PWRTNOD with node name of executing system.
DY45898 2002/11/18 HIPER	UD52187	VSE operator starts VSE/POWER task reading jobs from SYSIN tape by command PSTART RDR,tapeaddr. When task completes, shortly afterwards other tasks may fail with various symptoms due to corrupted work areas. MSG1QZ0I RC=45 may be issued by print task or PDISPLAY LST may show page count of 6656 pages left for printing for an active output.
DY45891 2002/11/12	UD52177 UD52185	It was not possible to specify BLDG,DEPT,ROOM, and PROGR on a * $$ LST/PUN statement A * $$ LST/PUN statement cataloged in a VSE/AF library could not be continued in the next line. For CFNO= a valid FNO had to be specified. There was no way to specify 4 blanks.
DY45961 2002/08/19	UD52233 UD52232 LEVELSET	When RDR type queue entry is restarted during SAS-GET or -BROWSE, and entry consumes more than one DBLK Group, and 'position on lines' (PXRSOPOL) option is set, then the restart position is incorrect. When POFFLOAD SELECT is entered specifying ALL,CDISP= this is rejected with 1R52I O OPERAND 02 MISSING OR INVALID. The date of the last level set VSE/POWER APAR displayed by the 'SIR' command is always in mm/dd format - whatever DATE format option is active.
DY45863 2002/07/31	UD52169	When starting the PNET TCP function, and the hex value of the Host ID is negative, then the startup fails with the error MSG1QZ0I RC=0052. This is due to the EZASMI GETHOSTID interface returning a Host ID whose hex value is negative, which was assumed to be an error condition. When PSTART PARTITION command in Autostart Procedure does not respect the sequence of READER/PRINTERS/PUN.., but mentions e.g. PRINTERs first, then the misleading message 1R91I PSTART TOO MANY OPERANDS ... does not describe the real cause. .
DY45855 2002/06/27 HIPER	UD52147	After extending the command area to 130 byte, PXMIT does no longer pass commands in correct form to Device Driving Systems like PSF or CICS/RCF. he command is rejected for example by MSG1QY6I PXMIT COMMAND NOT ACCEPTED BY DDS=SYSPSFP1, RC=0801 .
DY45931 2002/06/13	UD52196	When POFFLOAD PICKUP runs while entries of the Wait for run sub queue expire or are re-scheduled, then entries may get lost from the WFR sub queue.
DY45834 2002/04/29 HIPER	UD52111 UD52106 LEVELSET	When a LST task loads an FCB into VSE/POWER partition GETVIS, a VSE subtask is attached an uses module IPW$$AS to execute the LOAD macro. This macro modifies IPW$$AS to save pointers. When 2nd LST tasks needs to LOAD a FCB phase to another storage area, the 2nd subtask modifies the same code, so that the pointers for the 1st subtask are destroyed. This causes various problems, when the 1st subtask continues to LOAD with the maimed pointers. VSE/POWER part. GETVIS may be destroyed by FCBs loaded to wrong locations. $LSTnnnn entries (PDISPLAY ALL,LST) or $TAPnnnn entries (Tape DISPLAY) are created with DISP=D & CLASS=A. Often they are processed by printers of class A, before they can be viewed by the operator. Entries should be created with at least DISP=H.
DY45823 2002/03/11	UD52047	When a SAS BROWSE tasks accesses a job currently being executed by a partition the QRS2.QR2XRD flag is reset and therefore the PDISPLAY RDR display does no longer contain the active partition information (PART=partition-id).
DY45816 2002/02/20 HIPER	UD52040	The DELETION-Queue entry is not freed when the last accessing SAS BROWSE task is terminated abnormally. This may cause Short on DBLK conditions indicated by message 1Q38A NO DASD SPACE AVAILABLE IPW$$TS can not handle unexpected negative return codes of EZASMI calls.
DY45875 2002/02/06	UD52096 UD52095 LEVELSET	DDS device name or additional log. destinations R000-R250 (restricted in PSTART dev,... for RJE-id's) can be specified but will not post DDS in waiting-for-work state) when LST output added to queue. SAS Direct GET OPEN request to XMT-Q reflects SPLGQI='X' in Verification SPL but does not identify the entry as 'job' or 'output' type.
DY45803 2002/01/31	UD52023 UD52024	If a VSE/POWER command longer than 71 characters is issued, POWER truncates the command and sets the last byte to blank for its command parsing. These maimed commands lead to various error message like 1R52I command-code LAST OPERAND INVALID or 1R52I command-code OPERAND nn INVALID or the truncated command may be accepted but return a wrong result.
DY45797 2002/01/14	UD52006 UD52007	List output has been produced using an FCB specified in the * $$ LST statement. When list output is printed on the local printer the separator pages contain the FCBNAME. Whenlist output is retrieved via the spool access support (SAS), the FCBNAME is missing on the separator pages.
DY45784 2001/12/11	UD51977	If MACC count of a queue entry is not correctly decremented by SAS or DST Browse task, the entry might added to the DELETION queue although no task is actually browsing the entry. Then the DBLK groups of this entry are kept and storage is not released.
DY45765 2001/11/30	UD51960	After the introduction of the APAR DY45276 to detect if the POFFLOAD command was being issued for a labeled tape without the labeled tape operands the message 1Q77I RC=000A was introduced but without respecting the necessary register usage.
DY45828 2001/11/21	UD52013 UD52014	The LEFT= count presented at D A for a PNET transmitter is built with a 3 byte field TNETL copied by IPW$$NT at startup time from the corresp. 4 byte card/lines counts in the q-record. At D A the already transmitted number (4 bytes) is subtracted from TNETL and is shown as 'LEFT='. This fails and becomes negative for q-entries with total counts greater than 16MB (needs more than 3 bytes).
DY45820 2001/11/09	UD51997	Message 1RB0I with incorrect RC (=4) if node stopped via PSTOP command. Message 1Q2CI identifying PROTECTION EXCEPTION for module IPW$$TD and SUBTASK=TD after socket call BIND failed (for example with ERRNO=1115) Message 1RT7I and 1RTJA are issued every 20 seconds until TCP/IP interface is established. Trace message 1RTTI not very helpful to debug special error situations. Message 1RT2I missing in special error situations. Nodes can not sign-on via TCP/IP. Msg 1RT4I displays unreadable information.
DY45811 2001/10/15	UD51967 UD51966 LEVELSET	According to PLOAD 'Loading an Exit Routine (Format 2)' in VSE/POWER Admin. and Oper. the new exit gains control with the next record passed to the exit, but its increased workarea (as presented alreadyby PDISPLAY EXIT) size takes only effect. at begin of the next VSE/POWER queue entry for NETEXIT, OUTEXIT, and XMTEXIT after an active reader task has been stopped and been re-started for JOBEXIT. When these logical boundaries are not respected by operators at PLOAD time, and the exit itself does not verify, whether the expected work area size has become effective, failures may occur.
DY45800 2001/09/26	UD51959	VSE/POWER networking function may fail with various symptoms, when records with a record length of approximately 1020 bytes are received. For PNET BSC/CTC/TCP IDUMP will be taken (1Q2JI) from IPW$$NK followed by message 1RB6I with RC=00C1. For PNET SNA unpredictable results may occur.
DY45732 2001/09/26	UD51880 UD51881	VSE/POWER LIST & PUNCH account records miss information about programmer name, building, department, room and VM distribution code. This information is shown on separator pages/cards but not included in the LST/PUN account records.
DY45721 2001/09/24	UD51861 UD51870	Program spools to 3800 printer using a default FCB 885G set by SETDF. Whenever a PDUMP request is issued, dump routine IJBXDPIO issues one SETPRT request to reset the printer before the dump is printed and another SETPRT request to reestablish the original values. This causes VSE/POWER to segment the output in multiple parts. For example TCP/IP FOR VSE issues more than 20 PDUMP requests, resulting in more than 20 outputs. Output spooled to non-3800 printer or to 3800 printer without FCB is not segmented. The segmented dump hinders dump analysis.
DY45714 2001/09/18	UD51859	MSG1Q55D holds MMB untill an operator replies to it. This can cause subsequent power subtask needing MMB to wait. If a PDISPLAY command is issued, it will lock the DMB and then wait for the MMB to display the queue file. In case of shared spooling the DMB lock locks also the queue file and all other shared spooling systems will stall, indicated by message 1QB6I QUEUE FILE LOCKED BY ANOTHER SYSTEM.
DY45780 2001/08/31	UD51921	CICS/TS Report Controller sends new messages DFHRC5478/9 to VSE/POWER instead of old messages DFH5478/9 as CICS/VSE still does. The new messages are not prefixed by POWER message 1QZ2A but with 'FROM devicename:' and therefore not highlighted.
DY45769 2001/08/10	UD51907 UD51908 LEVELSET	Message 1Q2BI NOTHING TO 'OFFLOAD' has no unique return code for failure, but offers 6 possibilities by explanation.
DY45679 2001/08/02	UD51828	Since DY45521 the FLASH= operand of * $$ LST is ignored for non-3800 spooled printers acc. to * $$ LST description in 'Admin. and Oper.' Some OEM products rely upon FLASH operand to pass info to certain laser printers. If UINF or CUINF='PETER'S SHOP' is specified, VSE/POWER truncates command after 2nd quote, without error message.
DY45763 2001/07/30 HIPER	UD51897	With support of NORUN=IGN (by DY45592) when used for job running in dynamic class (with max-active-per-class = 1) and more than one dispatchable job queued - when 1st job completes, the second is set to DISP=*. It is never executed but remains in the RDR-queue forever. No command can access it.
DY45675 2001/07/19	UD51815	CICS Report Controller may pass invalid Optional Parameter Text Blocks (OPTB) via OUTDESCR parm field of EXEC CICS SPOOLOPEN OUTPUT. If 'PAGEDEF=(' with no value and no closing quote is passed due to program error, parameter check routine in IPW$$OP loops.
DY45647 2001/07/09	UD51810	When pfixed storage in VSE/POWER is destroyed, the cause is difficult to find, therefore the FULL task trace should be enabled to verify the chain of PFIXED storage elements. This chain is also called BCW (buffer control word) chain or real storage chain.
DY45613 2001/05/23	UD51791	CICS Report Controller may pass invalid Optional Parameter Text Blocks (OPTB) via OUTDESCR parm field of EXEC CICS SPOOLOPEN OUTPUT If 'PAGEDEF=(' with no value and no closing parenthesis is passed due to program error, parameter check routine in IPW$$OP loops.
DY45607 2001/05/17	UD51789	PDISPLAY queue,TAPE=cuu locks the DMB through creating a $TAPnnnn entry and prevents other tasks from spooling during tape reading.
DY45701 2001/04/27	UD51821 UD51822	VSE/POWER disk dump utility IPW$$DD does not show queue record number for queue file dump nor extent information for account/queue/data file dump. During queue file recovery after abnormal VSE/POWER termination SET NORUN=YES sets all jobs found active to DISP=X to prevent their restart. Jobs like CICSICCF and VTAMSTART should always restart. The User Information is alterable but not searchable by commands. SET DLSEP and SET ISEP do not enforce a separator page. Message 1R88I OK issued after queue manipulation commands does not tell operator how many entries were processed. PDISPLAY Q and PDISPLAY STATUS is rejected when issued via Spool Access Support.
DY45591 2001/04/04	UD51759	When a VSE/POWER JOBEXIT is active and terminates a VSE job (return x'0C' in RF) when handling a // JOB statement the logical reader function loops and presents the same card again and again to the JOBEXIT.
DY45584 2001/03/19	UD51698 UD51701	Internal return codes from TCP/IP calls are classified into different groups linked to the appropriate error handling (Ignore/Restart/Terminate Connection). Instead of terminating a connection VSE/POWER should try to restart the connection.
DY45570 2001/03/05	UD51676	The task trace with option FULL forces a program check to swap the AF DEBUG areas, but due to VSE/POWER STXIT AB swapping is not handled by AF and the AF DEBUG area will be overlayed by AF DEBUG entries created by the dump function.
DY45562 2001/02/09 HIPER	UD51628 UD51627 LEVELSET	VSE/POWER terminates itself when the PNET,SNA function finds the SEND or RECEIVE gate locked for one connection. After message 1RC1I NETWORK PROTOCOL ERROR FOR NODE ... RC=0018/0019 VSE/POWER terminates with message 1Q2CI in module IPW$$LD3 at offset x'000A'. VSE/POWER POFFLOAD assumes default of class 'A' for BACKUP\|PICKUP\|SAVE ALL or XMT queue.
DY45634 2001/01/09 HIPER	UD51699	VSE/POWER storage is destroyed and causes various abends like 1Q2CI CC=25 or CC=20 for various tasks. Storage is destroyed x'1C4' after eye-catcher "CIB 55C" by value of start address of IPW$$MX + x'2660'. Destruction happens at EOJ of spooled job when notification message 1Q5DI is prepared for CICS, DSNX or ICCF.
DY45555 2001/01/09	UD51623	PINQUIRE cuu for BSC line shows wrong result: Always 1st BSC line is shown in message 1R56I. PINQUIRE luname for RJE,SNA issues always incorrect message 1R52I PINQUIRE\|I OPERAND 01 MISSING OR INVALID .
DY45554 2000/12/18	UD51618 UD51619	PNET functions analysing an NJE control record - Network Job Header Record - Network Dataset Header Record - Network Job Trailer Record may loop if record is inconsistent, for example destroyed by EXIT. PDISPLAY AUSTMT does not flag incorrect Autostart statements. VSE/POWER may not terminate static partition during shutdown if PEND requests confirmation due to SET CONFIRM=PEND and static partition did end at the same time. Q/D-file shortage during VSE/POWER startup causes softwait, because AUTOSTART statements can not be written to disk. Only VSE/POWER cold start (without a chance to backup the POWER queues) solves situation. If VSE/POWER task trace has been started with option FULL the complete address space must be dumped. If the dump library is full, IPW$$AT tries to write the dump to tape or printer, but due to incorrect address calculation, the dump may be zero.
DY45546 2000/12/13	UD51602	For improved reliability of TCP/IP connections, it is recommended to install PTF UQ49529 for TCP/IP for VSE.

DY45511 2000/09/19	UD51532 UD51533	Using the non-labeled tape POFFLOAD LOAD function for a labeled tape the operator is prompted with MSG1QB9A that displays the tape label, to indicate what action to take. If the operator responds with PGO or PGO IGNORE then MSG1Q77I RC=000A is issued, an IDUMP occurs, and POFFLOAD is canceled. Using the labeled tape POFFLOAD BACKUP/PICKUP,SAVE command and indicating a keyword operand (TLBL= or LTAPE=) at or prior to the 5th position of the operands (at the position of the density or class) then the class operand defaults to all classes instead of class "A".
DY45498 2000/08/22	UD51520	When spooling output to tape and the job does not specify the tape unit address in the *$$LST/PUN card with the TADDR= operand, then the operator is prompted with the msg1Q55D SPECIFY TAPE ADDRESS. When the operator responds without specifing the tape address (simply hits the ENTER key), then the msg1Q5KI TAPE SPOOLING FORCED TO DISK occurs and the job hangs and operator has to flush the job to continue.
DY45489 2000/08/22	UD51516 UD51517	Message 1Q61A prompts operator with answer - REPLY CANCEL\|IGNORE\|RESTART,N where N must be replaced by valid number. If operator replies with character 'N', code destroys return register and next correct reply fails with program check in module IPW$$DT addressed by return register. Printing or punching of an output generated on OS/390 and transmitted to VSE/POWER may fail with message 1QBEI INTERNAL MACRO CALL "CPCOM" FAILED IN PHASE=IPW$$LW, RC=0088 ... meaning VM/CP message HCP088E AN INVALID NUMBER WAS SUPPLIED FOR COPY\|FLASH has encountered.
