Environment
Release : 12.0 - ALL releases
Component : JCLCheck Workload Automation, OPS/MVS, and other mainframe SMP/e installed products
Cause
PTF corruption is the most likely cause, and generally is due to binary mode option not being used when uploading or downloading the PTF.
Resolution
1. Run SMP REJECT the PTF to remove it from the GLOBAL zone. (In this case, the PTF number is SO07693, and LU00494.)
Example: SET BDY(GLOBAL).
REJECT S(SO07693 LU00494) BYPASS(APPLYCHECK).
2. Download the PTF from support.broadcom.com
3. Upload it to z/OS using the binary mode option, and into a sequential data set with DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=27920)
4. Run SMP RECEIVE with //SMPPTFIN DD pointing to the above sequential data set.
Additional Information
Suggested Work files allocation in the SMP APPLY job:
//SMPWRK1 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(50,10,200)),DCB=BLKSIZE=27920
//SMPWRK2 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(50,10,200)),DCB=BLKSIZE=27920
//SMPWRK3 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(50,10,200)),DCB=BLKSIZE=27920
//SMPWRK4 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(50,10,200)),DCB=BLKSIZE=27920
//SMPWRK5 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(50,10,200)),DCB=BLKSIZE=27920
//SMPWRK6 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(50,10,200)),DCB=BLKSIZE=27920
