RE: V5R2 Quality - a related question/issue

Michael,

Was the physical and logical file in the same library on that system?

Subject: V5R2 Quality - a related question/issue

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.
