PRE(RO54298) When allocating a VSAM file with a space allocation quantity that exceeds 5 digits, the value displayed in the diagnostic messages is just the low-order 5 digits. Only seen when diagnostic tracing is active: VAM0100 DATA COMPONENT PRIMARY SPACE AMT = xxxxx (should be 6 digits) VAM0100 INDEX COMPONENT PRIMARY SPACE AMT = xxxxx (should be 6 digits) VAM0100 SECONDARY DATA SPACE AMT = xxxxx (should be 6 digits) VAM0100 SECONDARY INDEX SPACE AMT = xxxxx (should be 6 digits) Diagnostic tracing output is misleading. The actual value of the &PRIMARYD, &PRIMARYI, &SECONDARYD, and &SECONDARYI variables are correct. None. PRODUCT(S) AFFECTED: CA Allocate Release: 12.5 RELATED PROBLEM(S): 3337

PRE(RO42086 RO53726 RO54883 RO55223) This enhancement will enable your ASR to conditionally suppress the following messages that are currently coming out unconditionally: VAM0407 CA Allocate ALREADY ALLOCATED DD <ddname> VAM0408 CA Allocate WILL NOW SCRATCH DD <ddname> VAM0409 SCRATCH OF DD <ddname> FAILED RC = nnnnnnnn CA Allocate issues these messages when it is cleaning up previously redirected data sets in the event the job step is going to fail with a JCL error. Two new variables have been created for use in the ALLOC Environment for new, non-vsam, non-sms-managed data sets: COND_SUPPRESS_VAM040X_MSGS SYSUT3_SYSUT4_DDNAMES These variables can be used by your ASR in statements similar to the following: IF &ENV = AL* THEN DO IF &SYSUT3_SYSUT4_DDNAMES = 'Y' THEN SET &COND_SUPPRESS_VAM040X_MSGS = 'Y' END PRODUCT(S) AFFECTED: CA Allocate DASD Space and Placement r12.5 RELATED PROBLEM(S): 3420 ++HOLD(RO55733) SYSTEM REASON(DOC) FMID(CCTVC50) COMMENT( Publication: CA Allocate User Guide We have added two new ASR variables that only have meaning for new, non-vsam, non-sms-managed data set allocation requests that are intercepted in the ALLOC Environment. COND_SUPPRESS_VAM040X_MSGS (Alias: SUPM40X) When COND_SUPPRESS_VAM040X_MSGS is set to 'Y', any applicable messages associated with the cleanup/scratches will only be issued when running with DIAGS=<jobname> diagnostics turned on. SYSUT3_SYSUT4_DDNAMES (Alias: T3T4DDN) SYSUT3_SYSUT4_DDNAMES will have a value of 'Y' when both the SYSUT3 and SYSUT4 DD statements are found in the current job step. ).

PRE(RO44711 RO55733) SUP(T25D0E6 BR44711) After applying PTF RO44711, when the ASR either explicitly or implicitly converts an AVGBLK allocation to a TRK allocation, the resulting track quantity will be exactly the same as the initial AVGBLK quantity. This will result in an over-allocated dataset. 1) Dataset over-allocated. 2) Allocation failure due to an out-of-space condition. 3) Allocation failure due to primary quantity exceeding 65535 tracks and DSNTYPE is not specified as 'LARGE'. The impact varies. Possible dataset allocation failure. Remove PTF RO44711. PRODUCT(S) AFFECTED: CA Allocate DASD Space and Placement Release: 12.5 RELATED PROBLEM(S): 3451
