INNOVATION DATA PROCESSING ANNOUNCEMENTSIMPORTANT TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR ALL FDR USERSWhat is in this Technical Bulletin?
Innovation has discovered a problem that can cause VSAM data sets with certain unusual characteristics to be corrupted when they are restored, copied, or moved to a cylinder number higher than 32767. Although this is only possible when the output volume is a 3390-54, we urge all customers to apply the following ZAP as soon as possible. Please do not delay installing the ZAP because you have not installed any 3390-54's yet, because you may not remember when you do install them. If you do have 3390-54 volumes and you suspect that you have been affected by this problem, please contact Innovation for instructions on identifying and repairing affected data sets. This ZAP is included in V 5.4/62, which is now available. If you would prefer to install V 5.4/62, please fill out the form at: http://www.innovationdp.fdr.com/upgrade/exform.cfm ***** ZAP-ID# : P-54.6067 * PREREQ : V 5.4/60 OR 61 * STATUS : APPLIED V 5.4/62; * CORRESPONDING ZAP FOR 5.4/50-53 IS P-54.5107; * CORRESPONDING ZAP FOR 5.4/55-56 IS P-54.5613 * SYMPTOMS : FDRDSF,FDRCOPY,FDRABR:FDRDSFC:INCORROUT.
