Products

Issue/Introduction

Jobs that allocate AFP resource libraries may hang with the following messages:

IEF861I FOLLOWING RESERVED DATA SET NAMES UNAVAILABLE TO jobaname
IEF863I DSN = afp-resource-library jobname RC = 04 RSN = 00000000 FROM SERVICE ENQ

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : CA Spool

Cause

When a file is created with USERLIB files defined by an OUTPUT statement 
and that file is transformed by the CA Spool Java Transformers, the files
may not be freed when the transformation is complete.  This will occur   
whenever AFP to PCL Soft Font support is not in use when transforming    
AFP to PCL and will also occur using AFP to PDF or Postscript.           

Resolution

The following fix must be applied:

 APAR #: SO13641  - USERLIB ALLOCATIONS ARE NOT FREED BY TRANSFORMERS
