Issue/Introduction

When applying a PTF, the following messages may occur:

IEW4008I FETCH FAILED FOR MODULE TSSSIMXX FROM DDNAME -LNKLST- BECAUSE OF AN ERROR IN CONVERTING A TTR.
IEW4005I FETCH FOR MODULE TSSSIMXX FROM DDNAME -LNKLST- FAILED BECAUSE IEWFETCH ISSUED RC 0E AND REASON 20
CSV031I LIBRARY ACCESS FAILED FOR MODULE TSSSIMXX, RETURN CODE 24, REASON CODE 26080021, DDNAME *LNKLST*
TSS8356E SIMULATOR MODULE ENVIRONMENT ERROR.
TSS8356E TSSSIM ENVIRONMENT ERROR(S).

The example above illustrates what happened when applying a PTF to TSSSIM and caused an extend of the LINKLIST. Other programs could lead to the same issue.

Resolution

The following sequence of commands addresses this situation:

Issue the following command to determine the name of the link list:

   D PROG,LNKLST,NAMES

This should display LNKLST00 in most cases.

Then issue:

   SETPROG LNKLST,UNALLOCATE
   P LLA
   SETPROG LNKLST,DEFINE,NAME=LNKLST01,COPYFROM=CURRENT
   SETPROG LNKLST,ACTIVATE,NAME=LNKLST01
   SETPROG LNKLST,UPDATE,JOB=*
   S LLA,SUB=MSTR
   SETPROG LNKLST,ALLOCATE

So LNKLST00 will no longer be used. Instead, a new one called LNKLST01 will be used.
