APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • RLS file shows that RECOVERY REQUIRED=NO. However CICS shows
    that if the file is OPEN ENABLED for readonly then the SPI
    returns a value or RECOVERYSTATUS based on the RDO definition
    instead of what is defined on the VSAM ICF Catalog. CICS should
    use the VSAM ICF Catalog for all inquiries of a RLS dataset.

    The CICS Recovery and Restart Guide states that an RLS file's
    recovery options are taken from the ICF catalog. Any recovery
    options specified in the CICS file resource definitions will
    be ignored.
    
    If an INQUIRE FILE command specifying RECOVSTATUS and/or
    FWDRECSTATUS is issued against an RLS file that is read only,
    the CICS file resource definition recovery options are returned
    rather than those from the ICF catalog.
