Batch admin fix that needs a mention

[SBAshby]

Hi,

Today v16 of Endevor got a PTF that allows multiple batch admin SCL command results to get written to a sequential file without loss of result data.

If you have suffered from this 'feature' then get your Sys Progs to apply RO69843.
I can't see an equivalent for it in V15.1

Enjoy!

Thanks Stuart - can you provide an example?

So If I run some JCL thus:-

//JOBNAME  JOB 0,'NDVR BATCH',CLASS=N,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*
//NDVRADMN EXEC PGM=NDVRC1,PARM='ENBE1000'
//C1MSGS1  DD SYSOUT=*,OUTLIM=16777215
//C1MSGS2  DD SYSOUT=*
//APIPRINT DD SYSOUT=Z
//BA       DD DSN=BATCH.ADMIN.OUT,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG),LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,
// SPACE=(TRK,(5,5))
//SYSTERM  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSABEND DD SYSOUT=*
//ENESCLIN DD *
 BUILD SCL FOR SHIPMENT DESTINATION 'SHIP1'
   TO DDNAME 'BA'
 .
 BUILD SCL FOR SHIPMENT DESTINATION 'SHIP2'
   TO DDNAME 'BA'
 .
/*
 

Without the fix, the dataset declared on ddname BA only has the scl for destination SHIP2 (the last action in the input), but with the fix applied I get the SCL for detsination SHIP1 & SHIP2 (all actions in the input)

This fix does not just apply to shipment destination batch admin, it is all batch admin commands that write to a sequential dataset.
