Issue/Introduction

After upgrading from IDMS 18.5 to 19.0 the variable TASUFLD1 is not populated with the IDMS transaction name. 

 

For example: 

 

The report from January 20, 2020 shows that variable TASUFLD1 is populated with the IDMS transaction name.  

 

 

After upgrading to 19.0 the report from Sep 14 (Monday) shows variables TASUFLD1, and TASUFLD2 are now empty, except for DQ* transactions coming from IDMSCV94.

Environment

Release : 19.0

Component : CA ADS

Cause

The PTF SO06628 increased the displacement of these user fields in #PMTASDS by eight bytes which caused the user fields (TASUFLD1,TASKUFLD2,TASUFLD3) to move and the MSG Software Report has not been updated to correctly Address these fields.

The HOLDDATA for SO06628 indicates that "Programs using #PMTASDS, #PMS30DS, or @PMSVXDS need to be reassembled." If you have an exit that uses #PMTIBDS (not distributed) a copy can be provided.

MXG has known about this for a while and were sent some DSECTs back when. 

Resolution

Merrill Consultants provided the following fix on the MXG Website:

TYPEIDMS 37.260  IDMS dataset IDMSTAS USER Fields were misaligned.
