    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    EXEC INQUIRE FILE is executed to acquire an extended KSDS file
    attributes. DFHEIQDS is called to obtain the file information,
    and a new added file type FCMT_XKSDS is applied for an extended
    KSDS file. This new added file type FCMT_XKSDS doesn't get
    considered during keylength processing, which causes the
    keylength for an extended KSDS file is always reported as zero.
    
    This new added file type FCMT_XKSDS is also applied in some
    other scenarios, while the related processing to handle it is
    missed, which causes :
    - INQUIRE FILE returns a wrong type in case of the extended
      KSDS file.
    - Atom feeds based on an extended KSDS report an unsupported
      file type with message DFHW20161.
    
    Additional Keywords: msgDFHW20161  msgW20161 W20161
                         msgEYUXD0106E msgXD0106E XD0106E
    

Problem conclusion

  • UI21742  UI21743
    DFHEIQDS has been changed to make sure the keylength and type
    can be reported correctly when inquiring an extended KSDS file.
    DFHW2FI and DFHW2FR have been changed so that Atom feeds can be
    served from extended KSDS files.
