PM99035: RPL FEEDBACK WORD 41080040 RECEIVED FROM VSAM WHEN THEY ATTEMPT TO DYNAMICALLY ADD A STRING TO A CICS DEFINED LSRPOOL

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• OPENAPI Programs accessing File Control Threadsafe in a CICS
  region receive RPL feedback word 41080040. This indicates VSAM
  did not have a PlaceHolder (PLH) control block available for the
  request. This should not occur in CICS. If there are 10 strings
  defined for the LSRPOOL CICS will suspend the 11th transaction
  that would need a string with FCSRSUSP. The reason there were
  already 10 active strings from the VSAM perspective is because
  they will use a string duriong CLOSE processing to issue a
  internal Write Buffer request. This is a timing issue.

  ****************************************************************
  An OPENAPI program using VSAM did an API request which required
  use of an LSRPOOL string. DFHFCVS checks that a string is
  available by comparing the number of strings in use against
  the number of strings specified on the LSRPOOL definition
  (FCTSRSTN). One string was available and so the API request
  was processed, but the VSAM request unexpectedly received
  RPL feedback code 41080040 ('insufficient storage to define
  another string') resulting in an ILLOGIC condition being
  returned to the application.
  In fact, that last available string had been used by VSAM
  for a close request to a different file.

Problem conclusion

• DFHFCL has been altered to allocate an additional string when
  an LSRPOOL is built, up to a maximum of 255 strings in total.
