Folks,

I was up at the Benchmark Center a few days ago and experience a V5R2 issue 
that I had never seen before.  The IBM guys there recommended that I submit a 
bug report, but I didn't have time while there, and we're still on V5R1 (where 
we're not experiencing the issue) so I would have no way to test a fix.  
Perhaps one of you who is on V5R2 can check this out.

Here's the scenario:
We have a Select/Omit logical file upon which we RTVMBRD to get the number of 
index entries.  If RTVMBRD returns *GT zero we call programs to process the 
data.  I had just completed a RSTLIB of our test database library, then began 
our batch process.  This process added records to the based-on PF that did meet 
the selection criteria.  However, RTVMBRD was reporting zero entries.  Even 
DSPFD reported zero entries.  I found that if I did a OPNDBF on the logical 
file that the entries magically appeared.  So my workaround was to insert a 
OPNDBF & CLOF in the CL program just before the RTVMBRD.  The LF was set to 
*IMMED maintenance, so that wasn't the issue.  This has worked in our software 
for (literally) years.

Anyone else seen this?  The benchmark machine was at V5R2 with the latest CUME 
as of about 2 weeks ago.
