z/OS Server / More reports from the field of OS/390 Indexer tightening of restrictions
« on: April 27, 2020, 12:22:44 PM »
PROBLEM: Indexer Field definitions can no longer have an asterisk (*) as an offset.
The Application Indexer used to look like this:
TRIGGER1=*,1,'1',(TYPE=GROUP) /* ANS: Skip to channel 1 and print line */
FIELD1=5,3,9,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
FIELD2=*,13,40,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
FIELD3=*,98,10,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
It needed to be changed to this:
TRIGGER1=*,1,'1',(TYPE=GROUP) /* ANS: Skip to channel 1 and print line */
FIELD1=5,3,9,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
FIELD2=5,13,40,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
FIELD3=5,98,10,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
_________________________________________________
This used to be acceptable to the indexer:
TYPE=GROUP,BREAK=Y
Now you have to spell out the BREAK=YES
TYPE=GROUP,BREAK=YES
________________________________________________
This comment line………last line in the indexer parms. Period caused failure:
/* WARNING: APP VALUES HAVE NOT BEEN CHECKED/UPDATED */.
