APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Per PMRs: 71179,999,000, 71181,999,000:
  
  ================================================================
  Date reported: 09/16/2011
  
  Severity: high
  
  Users Affected:
   All IMU users of MU V3.2
  
  Problem Description:
   IMU does not support syntax with split keyword, i.e, when a
   part of the keyword is continued on the next line:
  
   Example:
  
   MAS-
   K ('ZZZ.999')
  
  Problem Summation
   IMU does not allow split keywords, therefore partial sub-word
   is rejected.
   Note that this restriction does not exist for quoted or
   sublisted strings.
  
  Problem Conclusion:
  
   The IMU parser, FSREAD00 program, was changed to recognize when
   continuation with '-' is preceded by a non-blank
   character. In such a case, continuation logic is invoked to
   resolve the potential partial string (keyword)'
  
   Changed programs in SFSYLOAD:
  
    FSCCOBOL - existing program
    XXCCOBOL - existing program
    FSCASSEM - existing program
  ================================================================
  
  ================================================================
  Date reported: 09/19/2011
  
  Severity: Low
  
  Users Affected:
   All IMU users of MU V3.2
  
  Problem Description:
   Message is not specific when external table has too many
  entries
  
  Problem Summation
   The message displayd does not specifically say 'TABLE IS FULL"
  
  Problem Conclusion:
   The TBSERV1 macro was changed to display '&TABLE TABLE IS FULL'
   message
  
   Changed macros in SFSYFJCC:
  
    TBSERV1 - existing macro

  1. IMU does not allow split keywords, therefore partial
     sub-word is rejected. Note that this restriction
     does not exist for quoted or sublisted strings.
  
  2. The problem is in FSDYNIO0 when the DCB information
     is not supplied and the file definition and no DCB
     information is supplied in the JCL.  Thus the LRECL
     was set to zeros.
  
     When DCB=LRECL=16 was coded in the JCL, the LRECL
     was set to 16, thus it worked.
  
  3. IMU never supported block size that was coded in
     EZT Plus program.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. The IMU parser, FSREAD00 program, was changed to
     recognize when continuation with '-' is preceded
     by a non-blank character. In such a case,
     continuation logic is invoked to resolve the
     potential partial string (keyword)'
  
  2. FSDYNIO0 program was changed to set the record
     length to the size of defined record if the
     calculated DCBLRECL is zero.
  
  3. BLCKSIZE=NATIVE/EASYT was added to EASYTRAN.EZPARAMS
     option.
  
     For
         BLKSIZE=NATIVE   Block size is ignored.
                          This is the default.
  
         BLKSIZE=EASYT    Block Size is used as coded
                          on EZT Plus file definition
                          in the program
