Problem

Receiving a SMS compressed eligible multi-volume file fails into ABEND 737-48

Resolution

The problem is related to the use of the FEOV macro at file allocation time that is forbidden for SMS compressed Multi-Volumes files.

FEOV (Force end-of-volume)

The FEOV macro causes the system to assume an end-of-volume condition, and switches volumes automatically.

The solution, available since 3.1.3 SP11 is to append to the FNAME (or the WFNAME) FEOV=NO

• On CFTRECV, add on FNAME or WFNAME the keyword ‘,FEOV=NO’.

• Ex: WFNAME = '%+2%SOP$CFT.COMPRESS.W.&IDTU,FEOV=NO'

• If the SMS compressed files are identified/filtered at SMS level, it should not allow unexpected file allocation to that SMS compressed area when using CFT.
• SMS compressed identified transfers will have to be set with the FEOV=NO keyword.
• FEOV can be also managed for all CFTRECV using Environment variable FEOV=NO file ..UPARM(CNFENV).
