Issue/Introduction
Problem:
After applying IBM PTFs UA76233 or UA76232 for z/OS maintenance, or z/OS 2.2 GA base level, abends will occur in CA Allocate.
Environment:
z/OS 2.2 GA base level
z/OS 2.1 with IBM PTF UA76233
z/OS 1.13 with IBM PTF UA76232
Cause:
z/OS 2.2 - After upgrade to z/OS 2.2 GA base level:
An attempt to add a volume to an SMS-managed non-VSAM data set will result in a B37-4 abend.

z/OS 2.1 - After applying IBM PTF UA76233:
Starting the CA Allocate started task, the SVC 55 / EOV intercept will appear to be installed correctly. However, the first time a data set needs an additional extent, an abend S0C4 will result.

z/OS 1.13 - After applying IBM PTF UA76232:
Starting the CA Allocate started task, EXTEND and EOV functionality will be disabled so the data sets can not be extended.
The message, VAM5301 EOV LOGIC DISABLED, will display in the CA Allocate started task log.

Additional Information:
All of the CA Allocate PTFs for z/OS compatibility are backward compatible.
So, there are no concerns to apply all these z/OS compat. PTFs that are available, as of Jan. 26, 2016:
RO20396 RO25716 RO28258 RO31410 RO46717 RO50160 RO62091
RO71449 RO74217 RO79765 RO84363 RO85335 RO85790 RO86938
