Problem conclusion

  • A new EASYTRAN/EZPARAMS option was added to request
    return of File Status 22 instead of File Status 21
    on VSAM sequential write for KSDS and RRN VSAM files.
    
    Note:  When IOCODE=EASYT option in the EZPARAMS is used, COBOL
    Status code 21 is converted to Easytrieve Plus Status Code 24
    and COBOL Status code 22 is converted to Easytrieve Plus
    code 12.
    
    New option DUPKEY=21 or DUPKEY=22 was added as a second
    parameter to the VSAMOER=  EASYTRAN/EZPARAMS option.
    The default is DUPKEY=21, which will leave IMU as it was
    before the parameter was added.
    
    Example:
    
    VSAMOER=(&option,DUPKEY=22)
        or
    VSAMOER=(&option,DUPKEY=21)
    
    Where &option = ERROR or IGNORE.
    
    Users who wish to take advantage of this new options
    should update VSAMOER= option in the EZPARAMS table
    to VSAMOER=(IGNORE,DUPKEY=22).
    
    If you are a new user of IMU, DUPKEY=22 should be used to avoid
    conversion problems.
    
    If you are an existing IMU user and DUPKEY=22 is coded, make
    sure that your programs are not specifically looking for
    Easytrieve Plus Status code 24 on duplicate key condition
    because DUPKEY=22 will result in Easytrieve Plus Status code
    of 12.
    
    We recommend that existing users use the default (i.e., leave
    the EZPARAMS unchanged).
