PK65153: CICSDSA DISPLAY ATTRIBUTES NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the customer uses the View editor under 3.1 and 3.2, he
  noticed some of the attributes for the CICSDSA view are no
  longer available in the CPSM 3.2 WUI.  Under 3.2, the LIMIT
  attribute is:
  LIMIT - Maximum size of DSA
  where as under 3.1, the lIMIT attribute is:
  LIMIT(Normal) - Maximum size of DSA
  LIMIT(Thousand separators) - Maximum size of DSA
  LIMIT(Storage) - Maximum size of DSA
  LIMIT(Storage, 1 decimal place) - Maximum size of DSA
  LIMIT(Storage, 3 decimal places) - Maximum size of DSA
  .
  The same is also true for CURRALLOC, HMWALLOC, HWMFREE, LWMFREE,
  SIZE, STGFSIZE, and STGHWM.

  The WUI view editor method EYU0VOBR (VOBR - Build MOS Object
  Attribute Tables) is called to build the attribute selection
  lists used when adding new attribute content to a WUI view.
  
  Based upon the attributes data type and length, different
  options for the same field may be generated. A four byte numeric
  attribute should include 'Storage' options for example:
  
    LIMIT(Normal) - Maximum size of DSA
    LIMIT(Thousand separators) - Maximum size of DSA
    LIMIT(Storage) - Maximum size of DSA
    LIMIT(Storage, 1 decimal place) - Maximum size of DSA
    LIMIT(Storage, 3 decimal places) - Maximum size of DSA
  
  A number of numeric Resource Table attributes were defined in
  previous releases as four bytes in length. These attributes
  would support the 'Storage' options. However some of these
  attributes have been increased in length in CICSPlex SM V3R2M0.
  As VOBR only allows the 'Storage' options for four byte fields
  view customization performed at previous releases might no
  longer be possible.
  

Problem conclusion

• VOBR has been changed to allow the 'Storage' options to be used
  if the Resource Table attribute is at least four and not more
  than eight bytes long.
  
  Changes have also been made to EYU0VODN (VODN - Numeric Data
  Formatting) that will allow storage values to be displayed and
  entered based on terabytes (TB), petabytes (PB) and
  exabytes(EB).
