SELCOPY 2.02 Zap Summary

Please see end of product maintenance notification for releases of SELCOPY prior to 2.02. Please download and install the latest CBL product bundle for the relevant operating system.

SELCOPY 2.00 zaps applied at source in SELCOPY 2.01 and SELCOPY 2.01 zaps applied at source in SELCOPY 2.02 are documented in the SELCOPY 2.01 New Features document and SELCOPY 2.02 New Features document respectively.

Zaps correct known errors in the above release and are all independent, unless specifically stated otherwise. You may apply all of them, or only those applicable to your system. "All" indicates applicable to MVS, CMS and VSE. (xQnnnnn - yyyy/mm/dd) indicates the CBL query reference and the date the zap was first published. Once published, a zap will not be changed, except by a further zap. However its description may change to indicate the further requirement.

Zap references are in the format Srelznn where:

  • rel   indicates the release of SELCOPY to which the zap applies.
  • nn   denotes the Zap number.

You can download all available zaps by clicking on the following link:

Zap descriptions for SELCOPY Rel 2.02 follow. For details of zaps for other CBL programs please refer to the SELCOPY/i and CBLVCAT Technical Support pages.

 
Fixed By Op. Sys. Query Ref. Description
S202z20 All (SQ11852 - 2010/03/01) 0C6 occurs on a SELCOPY statement in error that contains a FROM position and an LRECL value which is an unresolved numeric expression involving "+" and/or "-" operators.
Same problem in previous release.
S202z19 MVS (SQ11850 - 2010/02/18) 0C6 and other potential failures on multiple CALL statements to a mixture of COBOL II and Enterprise COBOL compiled routines.
Same problem in previous release.
S202z18 VSE (SQ11817 - 2010/02/18) ERROR 505 and failure to decrypt CA-EPIC encryted input TAPE file. This zap introduces the option to allow SELCOPY to perform standard LIOCS for input tapes so bypassing SELCOPY's additional error checking for input BLKSIZE.

To do this, CBLSUSR2 x'04' bit flag must be set on (STapeInpLIOC=YES for CBLNAME assembly). Note that DEV=TAPE must be specified on the tape input READ statement if fname (TLBL/CA-EPIC DDNAME) is not of the format TAPEnn.

Latest CBLNAME macro supporting option STapeInpLIOC is available at:
ftp://ftp.cbl.com/Mainframe/ALL/CBLNAME

S202z17 MVS (SQ11814 - 2009/01/20) With ZAP 12 (Ref: s202z12) applied, ERROR 077 - VSAM OPEN FAILURE is given for empty VSAM input even with CBLNAME option SVsamRc160=Empty in effect.
S202z16 MVS (SQ11805 - 2008/11/13) With ZAP 04 (Ref: s202z04) or ZAP 05 (Ref: s202z05) applied, 0C1 Abend may occur at SELCOPY+10ED2 on input of a SAM file, as a result of SELCOPY's free storage management.
S202z15 MVS (SQ11784 - 2008/08/20) With ZAP 09 (Ref: s202z09) applied, 0C1 Abend may occur at SELCOPY+1DDAC on input of a ddname which is a JCL concatenation of data sets, one of which resides on an LBI capable device (e.g. TAPE).

Zap 09 is a pre-requisite.

S202z14 MVS (SQ11780 - 2008/08/20) ERROR 585 (with text "ZAP 64") introduced by fix S200z64 (for Rel 2.00) avoided potential 0C4 (or garbage input) for files with input buffers above the 16MB line. (e.g. Using RMODE31=BUFF, or ACCBIAS=SYSTEM). S202z14 sophisticates S200z64 by handling above the line buffers properly, provided a WORKLEN is in use.

This fix also modifies the text accompanying ERROR 585 to "202z14".

S202z13 MVS (SQ11764 - 2008/08/20) S878 REASON CODE 10 - Error during GETMAIN at EOJ of a DB/2 job.

Error introduced by SELCOPY 2.00 Zap 81 (Ref: s200z81).

S202z12 MVS (SQ11758 - 2008/08/20) 0C6 abend at SELCOPY+101D9 when reading a VSAM file with RLS=xx specified on the DD card.
S202z11 MVS (SQ11757 - 2008/03/25) With ZAP 09 (Ref: s202z09) applied, 0C1 Abend occurs on a VSAM open of DDNAME allocated to DUMMY.

Zap 09 is a pre-requisite.

S202z10 All (SQ11756 - 2008/03/20) 0C4 Abend during SYSIN/SYSIPT SELCOPY control statement analysis when all the following are true:
  1. "*" (asterisk) comment indicator is in the first column of the control statement.
  2. The cotrol statement begins on a storage page boundary.
  3. Storage page immediately before is protected i.e. not allocated by SELCOPY.

Same problem in previous release.

S202z09 MVS (SQ11740 - 2008/02/22) IEC141I 013-E1 abend when SELCOPY attempts to OPEN a data set defined with BLKSIZE>32K. Primarily occurs on z/OS 1.7 and later, or on previous releases with IBM tolerance APAR OA09869 applied, where block size information is recorded in tape HDR2 labels.

Where BLKSIZE>32K is supported (for Tape devices and DUMMY), this zap allows use of BLKSIZE>32K for data set Input/Output by employing the system Large Blocksize Interface (LBI).

** Important **
Zap s202z09 will fail to Verify if the special zap (Ref: SQ11647) which disables ERROR 582 is applied. See SELCOPY 2.02 Install FAQ 05 at:
  http://www.cbl.com/selcfaq.html#x5
FAQ 05 contains links to a SQ11647 zap roll back job and an amended version of the SQ11647 zap.

Same problem in previous release.

S202z08 MVS (SQ11708 - 2008/02/22) ERROR 584 - OUTPUT DSN ALREADY OPEN should always and immediately be issued, regardless of program logic, if an attempt is made to open an output file where the DSN matches the DSN on any other file, and the open has not been (explicitly or implicitly) deferred.
S202z07 MVS (SQ11691 - 2008/02/22) ERROR 581 - ZAP 43 incorrectly returned on input of JCL concatenated, RECFM=V data sets where the allocated LRECL of the 2nd or subsequent data set in the concatenation is greater than the LRECL of the first data set.
S202z06 MVS (SQ11658 - 2007/07/03) ERROR 572 - DD/DLBL EXISTS WITH DIFF NAME on a re-open of a DIRDATA input stream, previously dynamically allocated to the same FName using a different dsn, following an explicit OPEN/CLOSE.
S202z05 MVS (SQ11630 - 2007/05/23)       ## IMPORTANT ZAP for MVS ##

Due to customer pressure, a change introduced in SELCOPY 2.02 has been reversed following problems with legacy code, thus

       WRITE   ABC   VSAM   LRECL=80

will therefore revert to being interpreted as treating the VSAM file, ABC, as RECFM=F, which causes all records written to that file to be of fixed length 80.

Without Zap 05 applied, SELCOPY 2.02 treats the above WRITE statement as defining the maximum output LRECL as 80 and will write records of length equal to the current LRECL value.

Possible problems were:

  1. RC=05:
    Truncation due to current LRECL being greater than the LRECL value specified on the WRITE.

  2. No Error:
    Records written could be shorter than intended due to current LRECL being less than the LRECL value specified on the WRITE, which of course is a serious error.

Please apply Zap 05 and accept our sincere apologies.

S202z04 All (SQ11641 - 2007/05/14) Input of empty VSE/VSAM file under CMS causes a loop on file OPEN (VSAM Error 160).
Same problem in Release 2.00 with Zap 80 applied.
S202z03 MVS (SQ11635 - 2007/05/14) IEA705I ERROR DURING GETMAIN SYS CODE = 878-10 is possible on input where BLKSIZE is unknown. (e.g. DD DUMMY.) Default set back to LRECL instead 32K-8 maximum.
Same problem in Release 2.00 with Zap 46 applied.
S202z02 MVS (SQ11633 - 2007/05/04) S0C1 at offset 1B8E4 on READ DIR of PDS/PDSE Load Library or any RECFM=U data set.
Same problem in Release 2.01 with Zap 01 applied.
S202z01 VSE (SQ11623 - 2007/05/04) ERR641 or ERR642 may occur on CA-EPIC managed file I/O. Caused by SELCOPY file label SYS/volser checking prior to OPEN, thus avoiding 4883I abend.
Same problem in Release 2.00 with Zap 16 applied.
