File Maintenance › Create Sequential File from the History File › Move Request Deletion

Move Request Deletion

The recommended method for deleting Move Requests is to first run APJJ5950, which transfers Move Requests from the Pending file to the History file, and then run APJJ5955 to create a sequential file from the History file. In the event that an ABEND or system failure occurs while job APJJ5950 is deleting from the Pending file and creating the History file, preserve the Move Requests that have been deleted before the system failure or ABEND.

You might be able to recover the sequential data set by using a utility that writes a final EOF to the partially created file. In any case, if such a failure occurs, rerun PROC APJJ5955 immediately after the system is recovered. Program APCS5955 detects that a failure occurred previously, and it completes any outstanding purge operations, thus leaving the History file in proper shape for normal CA‑PanAPT operations.
