Anyone: Question about comments in the CSRSIIDF mapping DSECT used to map information returned by a call to the CSRSI service.
The DSECT has this field in it: SI00LASTUPDATETIMESTAMP DS CL8 STCK With these comments for the field: " timestamp when system last re-issued STSI to retrieve the most current information. A capacity upgrade on demand event is one event that results in this update. The field is 0's if the information has not been retrieved since IPL. " Our code treats a non-zero value in the above field as an indication that a capacity on demand upgrade has been performed since the last IPL. A customer of ours had a non-zero value in the timestamp field, even though they said they had _ not _ performed a capacity on demand upgrade. The comments in the DSECT for the timestamp field make me think we should not rely on just this field to signal that a capacity on demand upgrade has occurred. Question: is it incorrect to rely on the presence of a timestamp in the SI00LASTUPDATETIMESTAMP field as an indication that a capacity on demand upgrade has been done?
