Issue/Introduction

When trying to delete an obsolete library code PanApt is returning message "APCS1910-12 Library Code can't be deleted because of Move Request Usage".

Yet a query of the library codes shows no such request usage(APCS1230-02 No matching Move Requests were found"). 

Environment

PanApt

z/OS

Resolution

Follow the procedures below to clear out any outstanding requests:

1) From the Inventory Maintenance Panel:

   Verify if there are any outstanding entries(members) for the specific library code. If there are only a few then issue delete for each entry(member).

   If there are a lot then proceed to step2. If there are no outstanding entries(members) at all then move to step 3.

  Delete any outstanding entries(move request) by entering DEL under the ACT for the move requests.

 

4) Edit the PURGEPEND batch job located in CABYJCL member APJJ5950.

    This batch job will read the APTDB file selecting the move request and purge them to the APTHIST(history file).  

    Make sure the history file has been created and the APJJ5950 job has the correct CABYPROC and VSAM database prefix.

    SYSIN Example below:

    //APCS5950.APTSYSIN DD *
    ACTION="PURGEPEND"
    MR="000275"        <<< One move request >>> or
    MR="000275:000276" <<< Range of move requests >>>
    //

 

5) Submit the batch job.
