Error description
PD Tools Common Component (PDTCC) sample job IPVMKDIR causing incorrect deletion of data when run with line numbers.
Local fix
Ensure job is not run with line numbers in the JCL. If editing job from ISPF, edit with NUMBER OFF .
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All PDTCC Common Server Users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. When running IPVMKDIR in SIPVSAM1, * * and ISPF Edit has been used with * * NUMBER ON, then files and directories * * may be deleted unexpectedly. * * 2. Intermittent insufficent authority * * messages when running FA plugin. * * MSGICH408I * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** 1. When line numbers are present, some of the shell commands fail, leading to unpredictable results. 2. When DD STDOUT is dynamically allocated, and the user connected to the server has insufficient authority to write to STDOUT, msgICH408I may be produced.
Problem conclusion
1. The sample IPVMKDIR has been rewritten as a REXX exec. If Line numbers have been turned on , the exec will fail on the first statement and therefore is no longer destructive. 2. The sample IPVCONFG has been changed to add additional SPAWN_DD statements for CONFIG=FA (including STDOUT DD).
