PM34099: CPSM BATCHREP OUTPUT CHANGED TO UPPER CASE IF CMAS SIT PARAMETER MSGCASE=UPPER IS USED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are trying to use CPSM BATCHREP to list or dump CPSM
  resources from the EYUDREP repository. You have resources
  defined in mixed case or lower case, such as transaction
  definition 'abcd'.  When you view the output produced by the
  BATCHREP process, your transaction has been changed to 'ABCD'
  instead of 'abcd'.  Other fields such as a 'Description' field
  are also affected.
  .
  The issue is that SIT parameter MSGCASE has been set to UPPER in
  your SIT. This should only affect messages produced by CICS and
  CPSM, not the output of utilities such as BATCHREP.

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
  *                 APAR, all CMASes must be restarted.  Note    *
  *                 that the restarts do not need to occur at    *
  *                 the same time.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  When a BATCHREP request is processed, method EYU0XDBO (XDBO)
  writes header information, messages, input control statements
  and the resulting data to a JES spool file.  Additionally, if an
  OUTPUT DATASET is specified in the input control statements, the
  output for DUMP requests is written to the specified OUTPUT
  DATASET.
  
  Currently, XDBO folds to upper case all data written to the JES
  spool file and the OUTPUT DATASET if the MSGCASE SIT parameter
  is set to UPPER for the CMAS.  While the header information and
  messages should be folded to upper case, the input control
  statements and the resulting data should not be folded to upper
  case.
  

Problem conclusion

• XDBO has been updated to never fold BATCHREP input control
  statements and the resulting data to upper case.
