Issue/Introduction

The Backup / Restore output has the following messages:
V37027I PROGRAM USES EOV OR ABEND EXLST ON DCB
V37027I ...SEE PI# 601765 AND 601769 IN THE
V37027I ...OPTIONAL MAINTENANCE APPENDIX IN USER'S GUIDE
IEC028I n37-0n,xxx,xxx,proc,dd,...

Cause

The Allocate non-VSAM End-Of-Volume support excludes data sets that have either an ABEND or EOV exit coded in their DCB's exit parameter list. Some Cobol II allocations are considered to be ineligible for EOV processing for this reason. 

Resolution

The simple resolution to these abends is to add the following to the Allocate VKGPARMS member:
PLSEOV69 (Y)
N (default) - Feature inactive.  
Y - All data sets with DCB exit are INCLUDED for EOV except those where the DDname //PI601769 is present in the JCL.

No overrides to the JCL are needed.

Alternatively, the following Optional Maintenance features can be used to disable such exclusions...
PLSEOV65
N (default) - Feature inactive.  
Y - All data sets with DCB exit are EXCLUDED for EOV except those where the DDname //PI601765 is present in the JCL.
