Issue/Introduction

Description:

I have a user that allocates every product dataset they might ever need in JOBLIB. They changed the BMC load lib for IMS utilities to the new CA loadlib. They get the following message:

   IDI7500E UNABLE TO LOAD IMS MODULE DFSPR000 MAKE SURE DFSRESLB HAS BEEN ALLOCATED

The job runs when they add a DFSRESLB DD statement. What we don't understand is why it ran with BMC and why it didn't find DFSR000 in the reslib that is in the linklist.

Solution:

For the message of; 'IDI7500E UNABLE TO LOAD IMS MODULE DFSPR000 MAKE SURE DFSRESLB HAS BEEN ALLOCATED'; we only attempt to load the module from DFSRESLB. Since we're loading an IMS module, we load it as IMS does, from DFSRESLB. This is documented in our product Reference manuals under the heading 'DD Statements'.
