Initializing a 14.6 Panvalet library with DISP=OLD or SHR

Issue/Introduction

- R14.6 can't initialize a Panvalet library with DISP=OLD or SHR.
  When PAN#4 is executed and the PANLIB exists, the following messages are generated 
  which are not issued in R14.5.

  ***** FILE PANDD1 NOT DISP=NEW *****          * ERROR MESSAGE  = PV060 *

  ++CLEAR

  ***** PANVALET EXECUTION TERMINATED *****     * ERROR MESSAGE  = PV069 *

 

 

Steps to Reproduce:
 
 1. Create new Panvalet library.
 2. Initialize it again using DISP=OLD or SHR.
 3. Receive the PV060 and PV069 errors.

 

    //STEP01  EXEC PGM=PAN#4

    //STEPLIB  DD DSN=Prefix.Panvalet.CBA3LINK,DISP=SHR

    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

    //PANDD1   DD DSN=Prefix.User.PANLIB,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),

    //            UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,5),DCB=DSORG=DA,VOL=SER=volume

    //SYSIN    DD *

    ++CLEAR

    /*

    //*

    //STEP02  EXEC PGM=PAN#4

    //STEPLIB  DD DSN=Prefix.Panvalet.CBA3LINK,DISP=SHR

    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

    //PANDD1   DD DSN=Prefix.User.PANLIB,DISP=OLD or SHR

    //SYSIN    DD *

    ++CLEAR

    /*

    //

Cause

The r14.6 design was changed in order to prevent corruption of Panvalet library by unintended initialization.

Resolution

If your site deliberately reinitializes PANLIBs, first apply RO84662, then $2SF003 before executing PAN#4 with DISP=OLD or SHR like R14.5.
Special $2SF003 is created in Prefix.CBA3SAMP(SPECLMVS) when RO84662 is applied, so RO84662 must be applied first.
