Bug in USR0330N?

Matthias1 · June 14, 2006, 5:11pm

According to a former posting regarding FILEDIR.SAG I’ve recommended USR0330N to a colleague, who wants to find out the user-ID of Natural sources.

But my colleague said, that USR0330N delivers wrong user-IDs for the catalogued part. And he’s right. We’re using NAT 6.1.1.17 on Solaris and on Windows XP and on both environments, the catalog User-ID is wrong.

Can anyone reproduce this error? To make a quick test, just try out the SAG-delivered USR0330P for a Natural object with different user-IDs for the source and the catalogued file.

Thanks,

Matthias

Try USR2018 instead. In the documentation of USR033N it reads that it is outdated!

Sorry, but I am on mainframe. And the userexit is not marked as OS specific. So I think, the user exit must be the same :?:

This is what the doc reads:

Read Natural Object Directory                     NAT                
.

                                 USR2018N

and USR2018:

.

If you don’t have USR2018N, my SAG universe is destroyed

I just tried the running the sample provided for USR0330 on Windows using NAT6.1.1.19 and it seems to return the correct results. What was the “wrong” user-id being returned? Was it from a different object? or corrupt?

Matthias1 · June 15, 2006, 12:52am

The User-ID of the source is returned twice. It is returned as the source User-ID AND catalog User-ID.

Douglas_Kelly · June 15, 2006, 4:07am

Natural 6.1.1.09 on Windows seems to be correct here too. No USR2018N found in SYSEXT.

Chad_Scott · June 15, 2006, 4:37am

Sorry Matthias, I should have read your original post more carefully…

It does still return the user-id from the source for both source and object in NAT6.1.1.19!

Have you had a chance to open a support request?

NAT 6.2.1 on Ithanium/HP-UX: error still exist

Matthias1 · June 16, 2006, 3:00am

No, but my system administrator. I’ll see him on Monday …

Thanks to all for testing!

The next interesting thing is:
If I copy an Natural-Object from the mapped environment to my local environment via SPoD, all Properties are kept (Source User ID, Source date and Catalog date). The only exeption is the Catalog User ID.

Could it be, that the USR0330N-bug also causes this error?
