ENTRIES = ++PTF (RO57158) OLD MEMBER VERSION BEYOND LOGICAL END OF LIBRARY A Fastcopy or IEBCOPY COPY of an old member version and its originating member, into a library in which space reuse ($UPDATE PSR=Y) and multiple member version support ($UPDATE VERSIONS=nn) are active, may result in an old member version being left beyond the logical end of the PDS. A PDSM13 MAP of the PDS will flag the old member version with this message : * ERROR * * BEYOND THE LOGICAL END OF THE LIBRARY * PDSM13 MAP detects an error in the library following a Fastcopy or IEBCOPY COPY operation involving old member versions. This problem only occurs if all of the following are true: - COPYing a member and its PDSMAN old member versions - output PDS has a PDSMAN $UPDATE rule with VERSION=nn PSR=Y - output PDS already contains member and minus versions being copied Do not copy a member (X) and its old version (example, X(-1)) in the one COPY operation into a library with Multiple member version support and space reuse active.

ENTRIES = ++PTF (RO57358) SUPPORT FOR ISPF EDITOR'S EDIT LINE COMMAND TABLES This fix alters EZYEDIT processing to support ISPF EDITOR Edit Line Command tables introduced with z/os Change EZYEDIT processing to allow users to specify a Edit Line Command table name, when selecting a data set or member to be EDITed or VIEWed. There are two methods to specify a Line Command table name : 1. Add,LCT=tablename to a data set name entry in the "Data Set Variable Area" on EZYEDIT's Selection Panel 2. Specify a Line Command Table name in the EZYEDIT Edit Options panel. This name will become the default Line Command Table name to be passed each time EZYEDIT user invokes ISPF's EDIT or VIEW services. This default may be overridden using the,lct=tablename override. Note that user must have used ISPF's Table Utility to create the Line Command Table. User must have also created the Edit Macro(s) defined within the Line Command table. Refer to z/os 1.13 ISPF manuals for details. None. EZYEDIT's Edit and View processing is modified to support Line command tables. None. PDSM 954 Copyright (C) 2013 CA. All rights reserved.

5 CA PDSMAN PDS Library Management CA RS PTF RO RO58236 RO58236 M.C.S. ENTRIES = ++PTF (RO58236) MODIFY PDSMAN STARTUP TO SUPPORT ASID & LX REUSE PDSMAN currently uses a system Linkage Index (LX) for a space-switching PC number. As a result, message IEF352I is issued during product shutdown and that ASID is unavailable for the life of the IPL. Prior to zos 1.6, and the LX reuse facility, system LX's could not be reused. ASID reuse was made available thru use of a DIAG setting in zos 1.8 for testing purposes and by default with zos This fix modifies the PDSMAN PC initialization routine to reserve a 'reusable' system LX for the PDSMAN PC number. After this change PDSMAN may be started in a reusable address space by addition of the ',REUSASID=YES' option on the start command for the PDSMAN started task. Adding this option to the START command for PDSMAN will eliminate the IEF352I message during product shutdown. System message: IEF352I ADDRESS SPACE UNAVAILABLE gets issued during PDSMAN shutdown. During normal system operation a production PDSMAN address space is not stopped and restarted. So it is expected that this fix will only impact clients that run a test PDSMAN system, which may be stopped and restarted multiple times during the life of a system IPL. None.

ENTRIES = ++PTF (RO58327) CORRECT EZYEDIT SELETION PANEL PROCESSING The EZYEDIT Selection Panel incorrectly processes the 'DSN/Variable #' field. If user overtypes field contents with a shorter Dataset name or pattern leaving additional characters to the right that may or may not contain pattern characters, EZYEDIT may: - Display those additional characters in the panel title - Attempt to use any pattern characters Dataset list display title may contain additional characters or display unexpected lists. Problem is minor. Problem can only occur when user leaves extraneous characters in the DSN/Variable field of the Selection Panel. Use Erase-EOF to clear out the residual characters before pressing the ENTER key. PDSM 955 Copyright (C) 2013 CA. All rights reserved.

ENTRIES = ++PTF (RO58334) ALTER SCREEN WIDTH WHEN RUNNING UNDER Z/OSMF When running under z/osmf environment, EZYEDIT appears to take a very long time to display screens. The general default for z/osmf, tells ISPF to use a very large screen size. EZYEDIT requires more time to build large screens. This fix alters EZYEDIT processing to force a screen width of 80-bytes when running under z/osmf. EZYEDIT entry and screen refreshes take a long time. This problem only affects EZYEDIT processing when running under z/osmf with very large screen sizes. Set the z/osmf screen size to be standard 3270 model 2,3,4. PDSM 956 Copyright (C) 2013 CA.

ENTRIES = ++PTF (RO58474) ALLOW EZYEDIT-IN-BATCH WHEN RUNNING UNDER ISPF EZYEDIT-in-Batch processing is not able to initialize when under ISPF. EZYEDIT presumes to initialize as an ISPF application. This fix adds support to specify the parameter, 'BATCH'. This new parameter enables EZYEDIT to initialize as EZYEDIT-in-Batch, even when an ISPF environment is present. This support allows EZYEDIT-in-Batch to be utilized from a Clist or REXX procedure running under ISPF. This fix adds an example REXX procedure, called EEIBREXX, to the PDSMAN Sample Materials library, CPDSCLS0. EEIBREXX is a simple example of using the new 'BATCH' parameter. Using EZYEDIT-in-Batch from a Rexx procedure, fails when run under ISPF. This solution only affects EZYEDIT-in-Batch processing. EZYEDIT-in-Batch is normally recognised when not running under ISPF. This support bypasses EZYEDIT normal processing to allow EZYEDIT-in-Batch to run in an ISPF environment. None. PDSM 958 Copyright (C) 2013 CA. All rights reserved.

ENTRIES = ++PTF (RO59424) PDSM36 EXECUTABLE COMPARE ENHANCEMENT The PDSM36 Library Compare Utility program is enhanced to provide an additional parameter to control comparison of executable programs. The following new parameter is recognized by PDSM36: BYCSECT Executables are compared based on CSECT name. PDSM36 uses module ESD data to determine the list of CSECTs present in executables. The comparison is then performed CSECT by CSECT with mismatches on external references resolved so that CSECT order in the executable is irrelavent. PDSM36 fully supports CSECT names up to 256 characters in length. Names longer than 16 bytes are printed in the report body as an abbreviation, with the full CSECT name table printed at the end of the report. CSECTs with names longer than 256 characters are reported only, the text of these sections is not compared. The default processing is to compare the entire program as a single entity. In this mode two executables that are different only in the order in which CSECTs are linked are reported as mismatching. There are no symptoms associated with this fix. The process used by PDSM36 to compare executable programs is impacted by this enhancement. There is no circumvention. PDSM 960 Copyright (C) 2013 CA. All rights reserved.

12 CA PDSMAN PDS Library Management CA RS PTF RO RO62417 RO62417 M.C.S. ENTRIES = ++PTF (RO62417) S878 ABENDS AFTER RO58121 (RO61136 IS INCOMPLETE). This fix corrects fix RO61136 which addressed S878 or other abends in PDSMAN, system or user tasks due to a storage shortage in the PDSMAN address space. Fix RO61136 is in error and does not fully correct the original problem. This fix corrects the original issue of temporary buffers that were not properly freed as well as incomplete holddata provided in RO A buffer of length x'a40' bytes is allocated every five minutes while PDSMAN is running and performing usage statistics recording. The amount of time required before these extraneous buffers exhaust storage in the PDSMAN address space varies with the region size. Storage shortage problems are most likely to occur when the PDSMAN address space has been active for an extended period of time, usually longer than one month. The storage shortage within the PDSMAN address space may cause other user programs or address spaces to encounter abends or other errors as they attempt to use PDSMAN services that are no longer operational. In the worst case, these errors may result in the need to IPL the affected system. Storage shortage abends, including S878 abends, in the PDSMAN address space which in some cases may lead to system-wide abends or the need to IPL the affected system. For a storage shortage, the PDSMAN address space may fail to operate and need to be restarted, or PDSMAN services that are no longer operational may cause abends or errors in other jobs and address spaces. As a temporary circumvention, stop then restart the PDSMAN address space periodically to release the unfreed storage. Users have reported experiencing the storage shortage after PDSMAN has been active for approximately one month. Also as a temporary circumvention, PDSMAN Usage Statistics Recording can be disabled as described in fixes RO61136 and RO PDSM 971 Copyright (C) 2013 CA. All rights reserved.
